22. Feedback "Chris led the interactive session at which innovative step change initiatives for brand building and commercial activities were developed by 60 senior Merck attendees. Most have since been implemented with significant addition to revenues. He has carried out similar programmes for Merck CH in Latin America and Asia with similar results." (Chris Zanetti, VP EMEA, Merck CH) "Chris has a great ability to use trends as an inspiring catalyst for helping companies generate ideas to build their brands. He also is a rare trends dude in that he is practical as well: he has his "head in the clouds, feet on the ground." (David Taylor, Brandgym) "It was a pleasure to work with Chris and I recommend him as a dynamic speaker. Our [international] delegates found him easy to follow and feedback was that he delivered a frank and challenging presentation; not afraid of highlighting future dangers." (Micheala Hamm, Meeting Associate, International Council of Shopping Centres) "Thank you for your engaging and challenging contribution. As always, well prepared and presented and added a different dimension." (Vince Prior, Retail Director, Jones Lang LaSalle) "I really appreciated having you at the Brand Forum and I think you did a great job. I was impressed not only by your overall presentation and material, but also how you managed to place it into the Taiwanese context." (Magnus Lund, MD, Leap2Market) "Chris is an inspriring, positive person, that can easily draw people in from very different cultural backgrounds and get them thinking about the future." (Petra Meyer, VP Global Marketing, Merck CH)
