It's
Lonny Strum's world. The rest of us are simply along for the
ride.
Want proof?
When AdNews commissioned him to be our March profiled member,
the former president of Earle Palmer Brown and CEO of RBT/Strum
(now the STAR Group) decided our format wasn't quite up to
the 'Strum standard', so he wrote his own questions and answered
them. In the spirit of full disclosure, he was kind enough
to answer some of the provided material.
So, we present to you, on the left side, "AdNEWS on Lonny"
and the right side, "Lonny on Lonny."
Gotta love it.
