JULY 2009 | VOL. 2 | ISSUE 3

Every month we will be packing the Growth, Innovation and Leadership (GIL) eBulletin full of new tools, techniques, best practices, innovative ideas and leadership models to inspire our readers.

In this issue, we take a look at the most pressing concerns facing marketing teams in 2009, as identified by a recent Growth Team MembershipTM survey. We've paired the results with thought leadership from our Director of Global Marketing, Naylor Gray, on how to strategically move forward. Also in this issue, we offer insight from one of AT&T’s top marketing executives, and a forward-thinking article a senior editor at Business Management magazine.

Our GIL program is a fully-integrated deliverable which includes the GIL Global Congress events, GIL eBulletin, the Chairman's Series on Growth web casts and our Growth Partnership Services. If you are serious about growth, then I encourage you to actively participate in all of these forums available to you.
