A Quote by Arthur Ashe

Walking aft a few feet we stand at the steering gear of the ship. There is no cozy; wheel-house on the bridge for the quartermaster of a sailing ship! He must stand at the very stern, with an unobstructed view of the sails.

Marketing today is much more like sailing than driving. Your boat is the brand.

Marketers should become the wind, but accept that they’re at the mercy of the currents and weather
