Ashleigh is a fellow strategist and also my partner in attempting to write this beast of an article regarding how the internet is re-wiring and re-programming us and the implications of that, so on and so forth.

as a former spelling bee geek, I still get a kick out of coming across new words and looking them up. ask me about my first dictionary. we planners certainly place a premium on coining new words/phrases/target segments, but I still think there’s plenty of existing words that just need a dust-off. so yes, I [ READ MORE ]
