Dear Oliver
I attended the Likeminds meeting in Exeter and am interested 2 slides of your presentation. I could not find it on Slideshare/brandbuilder.
Are the slide of the presentation going to be made available?
Slides of interest are
1. Traditional marketing – fast burn; SM – slow burn
2. Graph of Double rise –
The initial rise – because of curiosity and interest
Fall – dis- illusionment with method
2nd rise – the real method
Thanking you in advance
