Good food shouldn’t be expensive, it should be comforting, real and affordable. That’s where the feeding frenzy happens and where a world of opportunities reside.

If you’re a brand and you’re hoping to innovate and you’re hoping to disrupt and to stand out in your category, you need to start looking beyond your category for inspiration. That’s very important for marketers. The other piece about what we’re trying to do around social is really not so much about the technology, but really whose voice are you using.
