Do you remember when marketing was about the moment? When it was about the customer? When it was about the experience? Well, I recently attended a rock concert by Stevie Nicks and her intro song was a cover of the 1973 Led Zeppelin song, Rock and Roll, but in the background Stevie had images flashing of the golden age of rock and roll. They were not just images; they were stories within stories of a time when the moment, the audience, and the experience were raw, natural, and inescapable.

Valuable, yes; misused, yes; does it have a future, yes; will social media push it aside, no.

Although the adage is, "Good things come to those who wait", I believe that it should be, "Good things come to those who persevere." For the last 30 years, my brother-in-law Peter Moskal has played in a City Amateur Golf Tournament, an annual golf event that attracts top golfers from around the region. Peter, an avid golfer, devoted husband, and father of two daughters, has persevered long and hard, and although he has come close to winning the City Am on many occasions, coming in second and third repeatedly, winning has always been just out of his reach.
