As a board member of the VCU BrandCenter, we’ve been trying desperately to educate the next generation of business oriented Marketers and creatively curious Brand Managers. Maybe, just maybe, we can shorten the distance between the two so that Brand Managers get better results from their agencies and so that agencies get better briefs from their Brand Managers.

I wonder your opinion on which skill will be more important for P&G (or brands overall) in the next 3-5 years. 100% agree again, Dave.
