This maybe the number 1 reason why people lurk. I hate to see how it has happened especially as my professional career has inadvertently compounded its vicious conseqeuences. I was brought up on a paperback book on marketing by Hugh Davidson as how we try to help people create what is most needed next. The vast majority of branding no lopnger aims to do any such good.

Contrary to any expensive bullshit adverstising agents may tell you , the most vital conversations do not depend on stylish colours, buying expensive television coversage, shouting to millions of people from on high, or even imaging beautiful looks.
