[Insert inspirational quote about
brands at CES, eg:]
“Marketing is like a Las Vegas buffet.
Or a Cirque du Soleil show. Or the
Bellagio fountain. You never know
what you’re gonna get.”
--F500 marketer
[Insert quote from Michael
Kassan to ensure we’re on
MediaLink’s invite lists - eg:]
“CES isn’t just about
consumers. It isn’t just about
electronics. It’s about the
show.”
– Michael Kassan, Chairman
and CEO, MediaLink

remember the 80-20 rule:
you can recycle no more of 80% of last year’s trends
so make up the other 20%
We don’t need self-driving cars but self-driving roads
The Statue of Liberty is the world’s tallest beacon
When technology talks to itself, everyone needs to listen
Wearables are the new shareables
The internet of things can be everything or something,
but not nothing
Internet of Stuff or Things or
Whatever
All of our devices are talking to each other.
Pretty soon, they’ll take after us and just check their
iPhones instead.
Nothing is more romantic than giving your partner a ring that tells them to get
more exercise and sleep
“Sengled Voice is the only integrated microphone/speaker LED bulb on the market.”
Because we need 50,000 choices for talking lightbulbs.

regulators let them
