David is consistently demonstrating the kind of
win-win thinking that builds industries. By embracing the new, he models the
behavior that will continue to make his offerings relevant and important as the
industry changes. He is an effective trend spotter. He, more than anyone else in
his sort of role, is engaged in a conversation with the industry. He has taken
the Gonzo Marketing thing to heart.
A set of unusual circumstances has us traveling
to Amsterdam to join David's
Global Expo on the
28th and 29th of November. Honestly, if he'd asked, we wouldn't have gone.
Instead, a key partner in Europe gently and diplomatically arranged the liaison.
Much to my surprise, the prospect gets more pleasant with each passing day.
The Amsterdam conference promises to be an
interesting
blend of new entrants (at least one of the Jasons will be there), old
stalwarts (Kevin Wheeler, for example) and a host of interesting players (Marc
Cendella from the Ladders). We're looking forward to it and hope to see you
there. (Let me know if you're coming).
Usually, the passage of time creates deep
cynicism in business leaders. It's clear from watching David that his optimism
grows with his tenure. It's good to have this sort of leadership in our
industry.
