During a recent speech on the changing face of marketing and brand, one of the attendees relayed a story about his wife.

The 2008 Day of Inspiration

We thought it would be hard to top the 2007 Day of Inspiration but as is the case with our team, we raised the bar yet again. There were so many great take outs from the day, I defy anybody not to have left with pages and pages of thoughts, quotes and new ideas to inspire them for bigger and better things.
