Memphasis > The View From Nashville
June 26th, 2014
IF WE DON’T CARE, NO ONE ELSE WILL. Longtime friend and Nashville marketing maven, David Bohan, answered my column about oxymoronic Nashville barbecue with his own column “Marketing Matters” in The Tennessean last week. In doing so, I think my friend made my point. The point wasn’t tongue-in-cheek comparisons to things that don’t exist ...

Staring at it properly is a big job – big enough that making sure you don’t miss the next dolphin ...
