Marketing Manager (MM): “Sir I’m back from IMMAP!”
CEO: “That’s good. What did you learn?”
MM: “That we should have conversations with our customers. They are our equals. That we should not be afraid to let them take control of our message.

CEO: “What?! We can’t do those. Regional will kill me. And besides we don’t have time. Let’s just do online ads.”
MM: “K.”
