The Freemium Model – A Death Knell for Brands?

Image
Dr. Michael Solomon discusses the roles of brands in the "Freemium" world  By Dr. Michael Solomon We are  exposed  to 4000 to 10,000 ad messages everyday. There’s no doubt we’re all assaulted by brand messages that scream to us on billboards and screens, from within TV shows and movies, and even on Post-It notes and refrigerator magnets.

I was supposed to right?  Wrong.  By staying, I denied myself the opportunity for even more growth and opportunities. Staying was comfor...
