3moI share the excitement and commitment and the energy. I felt it myself on IFAT and the in parallel taking place Munich Creative Business Week. When we meet on next IFAT .. what will be the palpable changes, any KPI, any thoughts? Whilst excited and energized, challenged myself with that question.
