How Exhibitions Can Help Your Marketing Campaigns
It is interesting to watch just how much the marketing world continues to evolve. From the use of the many social media platforms to building solid online communities, it is important that businesses remain in tune with all the latest trends. But, it is just as important to maintain the core values that you and your marketing team follow each day. Exhibitions and trade shows actually remain a marketing gem. They are a fantastic way to showcase a business in a unique and meaningful way. What’s more, exhibitions can help you get a leg up if you are planning a product launch or trying to grow the business. Needless to say, exhibitions are still interactive and powerful, and there are several benefits to be gained for your marketing game.

European Commission urges rivals to sue Google
After fining Google the sum of $2.7 billion a couple of days ago, the European Commission is again urging rivals that may feel hurt by the company’s breaking of its anti-trust law. The Commission through its Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, urged Google’s rivals to sue the search engine giant for abusing its anti-trust law. Vestager said any business that feels hurt should use the ruling to prop up its case, the Daily Mail reports. She was quoted in the Sunday Times, per the Daily Mail that: “It is for everyone who feels they have been hurt by the illegal Google behavior to take this report and use in court as part of their evidence will have an influence.” Vestager’s statement could trigger strings of legal actions against Google, and could affect the company’s finances. The European Commission in charge of competition fined Google a whopping sum of €2.42 billion or $2.7 billion for abusing its “dominance as search engine.” Google has been in the eyes of the storm for a while now, and this hefty fine by the European regulatory commission won’t come to many as a surprise. The commission said its decision is hinged on Google’s “abuse of dominance...
