Pereception and truth in adverstising.
By Michael Mark, Founder Nursing scores high on the Gallup “respected industries” poll. Banks have plummeted. I can see that. But I get crazy when I see ad agencies ranked so low. The good news is we moved up 4%. Advertising works in two arenas: perception and truth. One is ephemeral, one remains.
