That sounds better than legislation. Good news. A resolution with guidelines might well be a good thing. But, I fear the outsiders will still be oblivious to best practices. Here's hoping Boston gets a long deserved breather from outside marketing events - that go wrong, that is. Take care. Thanks, John. That sounds better than legislation. Good news.

Take care.

We had an interesting discussion, he came to gather information for their public conversation on the subject. I believe the city council would like to provide some guidelines for marketing people on how to conduct such campaigns in the future. One of the President’s staff members came to the event.

Yeah, you'll likely see students coming by along the way. They are now deep into the visiting of other sites. As I wrote to you, that was a great idea to invite the council to your meeting. I'll look forward to see if they actually come in. Having them there would have a great effect upon any possible backlash / regulations re: future marketing and PR activities in Boston. If they actually pass such laws in the city, it could have a ripple effect. I hope Boston marketers don't experience problems due to outsiders muddying up the waters. Take care. Thanks, John.

I was wondering if companies are regularly placing their promotional materials for their guerilla marketing campaigns without property owner's permission in Boston and around the country. Unlike to recent events in Boston, typically there is no response from the local authorities. It would be interesting to canvas guerilla marketing agencies and brand marketers and ask them if they do typically ask permission before placing their promotional materials on public and private property? Robert,
