No doubt, approaching brand development with one consistent (believable) message is a lesson all entrepreneurs and business persons should follow for longevity and success.

his overall campaign was well organized and carried out, he built a strong support on the ground and reached out to millions of actual people that didn’t use (or know about) the internet – otherwise proabably we would have witnessed another “web 2.0 fiasco” a la howard dean
