I agree that we've not seen the worst. But then again I'm only (like the rest of us) taking a view on what the media feeds us. As for organisations with 'balls' - yes they would - on the face of it - stand a better chance. However I have experienced first hand 'hidden' factors which I can barely comprehend let alone describe which can distort what otherwise might have been a logical outcome to marketing objectives. Regretfully, standards are slipping, aspirations are increasing and greed knows no boundaries.
