I think you are describing the exact concept creep I was railing against. True ABM is platform and ad tech neutral, its almost entirely strategy and deep work in winning over every stakeholder at play with a completely customized content, a

This is a teeny tiny symptom of much more eggregious problem. Online publishing and Digital advertising today is essentially a modern day protection racket. The data targeting is only one iteration of this problem. Google selling ad space o

No ones talking about drug approvals...im talking about IP protections after its approved... do you have any idea how corrupt and regulated that side of the business is? Even generic drug prices are artificially manipulated by the original

by davemel37 8y ago
The problem here is not business interests its the IP protections that keep the pressure from being applied by the marketplace. I dont know enough to have an educated opinion on healthcare regulation or on social services...but its disengen
