thinking imagination people
That might be the old model: to get a fixed fee. You have to start to think about other models and how they can generate interest - what it can do for a brand in the future - and about the fact that revenue can also be generated in many other ways... Just look at the one and a half million people at the free Rolling Stones concert in Cuba. And Cuba is not Central Park! So just use your imagination as to what kind of revenue can be made...
thinking community trying
Think through whom you are trying to reach. Tailor what you do and how you do it to appeal to those communities.
hero thinking competition
When you go back to the above names it was a very much narrower situation - the alternatives were far fewer. Today there is much more competition for the 'hero stakes'! And if you think about all the alternatives you have today to spend your time on, the pool of heroes is much broader. It was very much less back then.
hero thinking people
That is again a romantic notion: the hero. I think people enjoy a much more levelled playing field where you have the ability for many people to become heroes.
thinking growth
When I think back to 2005, the fast growth markets - what we call the fast growth markets - were probably ten percent of our business. They are now 31 percent.
thinking nigeria
You could think about Vietnam and at some point in time about Nigeria. And then you head to South America: Argentina, Columbia, Peru. Probably not all of them will have an F1 race, but they are definitely considering events.
thinking track values
In that - and that is my personal view - Singapore delivers the most value, as they think about Formula One as a complete entertainment event, on and off track.
thinking week motor
Just take the lack of presence of F1 in the United States. In theory - and logically - you would have an East Coast Grand Prix, a West Coast Grand Prix, and I think you should have a street race in Detroit - it is still the motor capital of the US. You stay in the US for four weeks and could have two to three races, certainly two.
thinking technology incredibles
The technology is already incredible and will improve massively in the next few years. Think about what you could do.
technology night thinking
If you ask what keeps me up at night, it's the pressure in the system forcing us to do all sorts of things. Content, data and technology are forcing us to think about business in a very different way.
france quarter second stronger uk
The second quarter was stronger in France and Germany, ... The UK is not as stabilized or as strong.
bit good nbc ratings return television
The television ratings were, I think, a little bit disappointing, but NBC said they made a good return on it.
growth organic primarily strategy
Primarily our strategy is organic growth, buttressed by acquisitions.
