Third question for you
• Is it too risky for brands to align themselves with principles by catering to faith communities or to the military? Do you see any chances for real brands to do that organically?

Summation
• Public Policy, Marketing & Government Affairs Are Merging• With the advent of social media, your story better be Your Story
and your principles defined and leveraged by you, before an opponent defines them for you
• Principles are doctrinal and emotional, policies are tactical• You can create permanent communities with strong bonds• We are in non-fiction storytelling business
