There’s a lot of logo’s on this slide, many of whom I’m sure you recognize. But the point is, We work primarily with large, highly visible brands: Companies with significant regional, national and international reach, such as P&G, have needs, concerns, and challenges that differ significantly from small shops and startups. Your actions in social media are under a different magnitude of microscope, and your projects and campaigns are subject to much more extensive internal approval processes and external scrutiny. We understand that, and live it with clients just like you daily.
