  • What was ignored was the word of mouth, brand loyalty that was built as well as evaluating what you were saying to your audience that  persuaded them to buy. Was it price? Competitor’s failure to communicate? What are you saying to your audience that persuades them to notice, comprehend and take action?

The Abuse of Ukraine's Best-Known Poet : The New Yorker - 1 views

  • Serhiy Zhadan
  • Zhadan’s beating has caused a great deal of protest among Russians, and referred me to a statement released by the Russian PEN Center, which reads, in part, “We are observing a severe noetic crisis, akin to what was described by Orwell: the meanings of the words ‘peace,’ ‘war,’ ‘fascism,’ and ’democracy,’ ‘defense,’ and ‘invasion’ are shamelessly warped.”)
