Show Notes
00:02 — GDPR – what do we need understand and prep for May 25th.
00:18 — Facebook and the data breach
01:08 — Is what do as marketers any better than what Cambridge Analytica did?
01:15 — AirBnB and its super host applications process now has Hotels trying to get in on it.
01:23 — Brand slogan Identifier game…
01:35 — The big ‘Rut Too’ — the lawsuit to open keywords for brand on brand, Who wins?
01:45 — ‘Not brand loyal but brand trained’, how will brand react if the lawsuit for keyword trademarks goes away. Even call it acknowledgement but don’t call it membership or loyalty.

It’s been another crazy week – crazy weather, crazy politics, so take a break by watching a gentle, comforting, peaceful and relaxing discussion of all the hot topics facing the hospitality industry…

Why so relaxed? We’ll have returning special guest Dan Wacksman SVP, Marketing and Distribution for Outrigger Hotels and Resorts waking up early in Honolulu to join us.

The HSMAI Marketing Advisory Board is copied on this email.
