Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past week, you’ve probably heard about PwC’s epic mix-up at this years’ Oscars. The mistake, and its resulting actions, have highlighted just how much damage one small slip up can cause to your brand, and how it’s nearly always best to take accountability and try to […]
Authenticity is a word that is probably said too often in the marketing world. Endless rhetoric on why being authentic, genuine and real (especially when it comes to those pesky millennials) is the only way to appeal to people and grow your business in today’s #fastpaced, #VUCA world.
