As we reach the close of 2017, its always great fun to reflect back on the years best moments...the biggest moments in marketing that is, IMHO. So much of this year's marketing was either a response to popular culture and social sentiment, or a driver of it. That's the power of branding!
Heres to 2017 and to all of our successes! What would make your list?
Wishing you the happiest of holidays!
