Our Comments on NPR's Marketplace


Yesterday was another exciting day for HBW!

We were contacted by American Public Media/NPR's Marketplace Morning Edition to comment on branding during a recession and specifically about Starbucks. They found our humble blog while searching for "recession brands" and decided to get in touch.

You can hear our comments on their site. Our portion begins at 2:35.
