Testing and metrics are everything. Even the best-made plans can turn up a pile of trash for results. Only by validating results can the proprietor make good decisions. As far as the pub story goes.. it would seem that the proprietor who wanted to rebuild just didn't do any research as to potential outcomes. Great Stuff!

We portray a certain demographic in an advertisement for people to relate to. How could the drug campaigners not see they were showing smoking drugs as a fun activity. As for pubs it is amazing the people who take over an establishment and try and turn it round without taking into consideration of the past clientel. It happens at all levels.
