As someone who was part of the original 1664 Blanc launch team in the early 2000s I had to share this phenomenal piece of brand activation. Kudos to Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company 👏👏👏 🚀 My No 1 Golden Rule of Marketing: Invest at the point of purchase for maximum ROI. You get a huge sampling opportunity to recruit new consumers and drive sales but most importantly you create brand advocates who keep selling for you long after the activation ends. 💡💰 #SuperbWork #BrandActivation #MarketingStrategy Remember, it’s not just about the visibility of the product—it’s about the lasting impact you create 🙌

Why It Matters

CAUSE AND EFFECT: ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS In this real world, any effect always has a cause or causes, i.e. factors that contribute to a certain outcome. The problems we are seeing now are EFFECTS OF CAUSES that were not addressed or had not been foreseen or just due to plain negligence of our leaders. Increasing government ministry or increasing police force are 'band-aid' solutions which will not alleviate the problems. Here, I will state only few factors or causes of the 'effects' we are seeing now in our major cities: *Vagrancy Act neglected. No control over rural-urban migration *No Strict Act on Population Control or Birthrate, i.e. how many children each parent must have basing on certain criteria they must meet *Poor Census Records (if only we have a proper database of people, the government can align it's resources accordingly) *Poor/No proper urban planning of streets, avenues, towns, cities, etc... *Deeply-rooted Public Servants Corruption (like bribery, Nepotism, Regionalism, Money Laundering, Misappropriation of public funds,etc...). When there is corruption at high level, the people suffer (in terms of less employment opportunities, poor government services, inflation, etc...) so people start to rebel. *Outdated School Curriculum System producing more dropouts than more 'human resources' *Laziness by public servants. We don't need research to confirm this. Just go to any provincial or local government offices and see how the attitude of public servants towards their work. They can come in to work at 10am, go lunch at 12pm-3pm, come back at 3:30pm and go home at 4pm or 5pm. Unlike in the past where we have KIAPS who do patrols, today the public servants they hardly do any 'patrols' to update census and do assessments of communities. NB: This are some factors contributing to the problems, which I believe if addressed, will at least alleviate the problems. If anyone can add on some opinions, please do so. #rootcauseanalysis #cause_and_effects #factors #probles

Look, we aren’t in this for the chocolates. But if anyone wants to bring us chocolates, then we will never complain. It would be rude. The whole team here at Radcliffe & Rust has one main goal, which is to ensure that we do our very best for every client who walks through our doors. We would love to say we get the result we want every single time, but that would be silly. Anyone who makes that claim is lying. What we can promise, though, is that we will listen to what you want to achieve and throw everything we have into making it a reality…and our success rate is pretty high. There is a good reason for that: we know the Cambridge market like the back of our hand, we love helping people achieve their dreams, and most importantly, we are passionate about what we do. It also helps that we have a great team with which to do it all. The only criticism we have about our team is that the distribution of chocolates isn’t always as fair as we would like…just saying. But who is the guilty party? Any guesses? #celebrations #thankyou #gifts #customerservice #thanks #appreciationpost #treats #sweettooth #estateagent #sales #lettings #cambridgeproperty #chocolates

Absolutely LOVE how 2024 is turning into the year of women’s sports. Here are just a few highlights thus far: 1. The Women’s March Madness Final Four game between Iowa and UConn had the largest audience of any basketball game in ESPN history. 2. The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) has 1,100 sponsorship deals, creating a 25% increase from previous years. 3. At the end of 2023, the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) secured a $240 million domestic TV sponsorship deal with CBS, ESPN, Amazon, and Scipps. This deal is 40 times larger than previous agreement. 4. According to financial analysts at Deloitte, elite women’s sports will generate $1.28 billion in 2024 - this is an increase of 300% from three years ago. 5. Selfish plug - Dallas is now going to have a professional women’s soccer team called Dallas Trinity FC and they will be playing in the Cotton Bowl Stadium! (Season Membership Deposit secured) I’m very excited to continue to see the growth in women’s sports and to see how these elite athletes are impacting the next generation. #EqualPay #CaitlinClark #DallasTrinityFC #Gatorade #LPGA #NWSL
