On the topic of public relations I realized that marketing really has to do with everything. Relation of the publics–the part that applies to us consumers the most is company relations to us.

I was watching old seasons of Top Gear the other night when I came upon the episode where Jeremy Clarkson and James May tried to create a tv commercial for the Volkswagen Scirrocco TDI.

What turns a simple idea into a phenomenal force promulgated throughout society? The life force of an idea lies not within the idea itself, but with whispers, discussions, and proclaimations. An idea exists as long as it is in someone’s mind, but it takes many minds to make it flourish and spread. The end of […]
