How do you come to that conclusion? Have you spent any time working in the
global marketing industry? I have been working in it for around 10 years
and currently I'm employed at the largest marketing agency in Australia
with over AUD $1billion in annual turnover. Previously I have been
employed at the worlds largest media company with TV channels broadcasting
in every nation on this planet.

pretty sure most of the rest of the community (or in fact world) is not in
