We just watched a very interesting video on Brand Activation that truly underscores how critical Brand Activation is to all MarCom Pros. The video is based on a Google + Hangout interview with Pam Kermisch, Integrated Communications Director of Cereals at General Mills. Pam is also the Chairman of the <a a="" href="http://www.baalink.org">www.baalink.org</a>">http://<a href="http://www.baalink.org">www.baalink.org</a>">Brand Activation Association (BAA).
