For example if we are trying to increase the consumption of water, working together with a popular water bottle company might be beneficial in increasing water consumption.

I really enjoyed the presentation on the verb campaign as I learned a new perspective on how partnering up with other organization or popular media can beneficial in marketing and attempting to change behaviors in populations. I also enjoyed the presentations on how there are mind principles to branding and how easy it is for us to name an array of coffee yet many individuals in the USA do not even know what the CDC stans for or what it does. It reminds us to be innovative.
