BUT I wondered what would a DIgital Media Mercenary turn to in dealing with the battle of the brands in terms of the next generation of Braneded Content and underwriting digital videos and webisodes and even digital mini series. 

So I decided to put together a presentation on the 7 Top Tactics for the Battle of the Brands 2011 Style & Beyond and here it is -- ENJOY:
