Walking a Dog and Marketing Campaigns

by Justin Levy on February 22, 2009

This morning I was walking my dog, Sasha, as part of my normal early morning routine.  Every morning I always seem to see the same people also outside walking their dogs.  What is interesting to me is that even when I’m running a little early or a little late, it seems that I run into [...]

by Justin Levy on February 16, 2009
