[inlinetweet prefix=”” tweeter=”” suffix=””]What is a brand? [/inlinetweet]How often do we ask ourselves this question as brand professionals? If you think about it, probably not enough.

Each and every Monday, we post a blog to help our readers get to know the media just a little bit better. With a TURN and maybe a TWIST! No, we aren’t posting pitch tips or media lists, but instead great stories from the media themselves about their lives, their work and other little known […]
