Material ConneXion | NYC | Bangkok | Cologne | Milan
Good morning -- I'm not sure if you've been here, Material ConneXion, but given your interests -- just in case -- I'm passing this along. I've got a client that is being represented by this group, and wanted to know more -- so I went there; it's just blocks from...
Of course there’s a retort
Weblink to article "Innovation and Sales - Never Say Never, Tim Girvin" ------ Never say never. Let's look back. First of all, can't quite remember a quote like that, but too, what's the point of the method, to the medium? Is it that then, to McLuhan's titled...
