      Hi Dave,

      Thanks so much for writing this blog. Honestly, I have been looking for a blog written by a P&G’s brand manager for 2-3 years already. I am so excited when I saw this blog. Keep up the good works! Again, Thanks a lot.

      Best,

      Hi Dave,

      I love your posts, very insightful. Funny thing about Starbucks, isn’t it? I will be interviewing Starbucks former VP of Corporate Social Responsiblity soon for Brandchannel.com career profile.

      Would love to talk with you sometime for a possible interview (pretty please?).

      Also, stop by new blog sometime when you have a moment. I’m still in set-up stage/mode but it’s coming along.

      best,
      AK

      Dave: This is a very progressive-minded marketing blog which I will share with all my friends and colleagues in the world of advertising. Once again, it proves that smart P&Gers (the client!) are often more forward-thinking than the agencies!
