Memphasis > Can We Talk?
October 29th, 2015
WE’RE SIMPLY NOT COMMUNICATING. I’ve been saying for years that our city, as a city, does not understand or value the role of marketing and branding in the city’s game plan. Doesn’t look like we’re dressing out for this administration either. Using the playbook analogy they’ve employed, I was encouraged by last week’s ...
Memphasis > Around here, you hear Belz.
