13. They come to your aid when you least expect
em in weird and wonderful ways
14. Think of it as
relationship bricolage
“Bricolage is what tinkers do-
collecting odd bits of stuff they
think may be potentially useful,
then using whatever bits seem
to work in the context of some
later repair job. Simple. And yet
profound. Because the bits the
bricoleur ends up using were not
designed for the use they end
up being put to”.
Chris Locke

The Internet is enabling conversations among human beings that were simply not possible
in the era of mass media [thesis 6 -cluetrain manifesto]

32. We live again in a
relationship economy
Transactions are the by-products of
healthy relationships. The global economy
is shifting from a mass media, consumer
mass-marketing model to one that is far more
emergent and decentralized. The involuntary
loyalty of "sticky" services is falling victim to
the far preferable voluntary loyalty won
through responsiveness, quality, excellent
service, reliability and trustworthiness.
-Jerry Michalski
33. Versus how the Traditional PR & Marketing Function is
viewed
