If John Wanamaker, the legendary, native-Philadelphia merchant and public figure, could somehow come back to his favorite city, in 2018, he would no doubt feel very much at home in today’s marketing communications/digital marketing/social media-driven ad biz.

January 11, 2018 I A. Bruce Crawley
Communications firms often fail to share important news about themselves, even as they ramp up news and product/service information about their clients.
Well...in a break with that practice, here’s the latest from Millennium 3 Management: Our offices have recently moved, not just physically, but also culturally.
