A superb prophecy from the CEO of agency Nokamo, Ian Humphris on what’s going to sort the wheat from the chaff as we emerge into a world that needs to lean to cooperate with a virus.

Ian gives his predictions on who’s going to win and who’s going to lose. Why 81% of CEO think their marketing is different, while only 7% of their customers agree.
