Dear Subscriber,
It is a definitive and surreal thrill to launch the first issue of The Cannata Report since my official appointment to president and CEO of our media business and parent company, Marketing Research Consultants LLC (MRC), on January 2. I am also extremely proud to officially and simultaneously kick off the year in celebration of MRC’s 40th Anniversary, which my father, Frank Cannata, founded in January of 1979.
In alignment with our new leadership and anniversary celebration, we launch a new issue theme this month: Security. To access, simply click here or on the issue name itself in the previous sentence and a PDF of the issue will automatically and immediately download to your device and pop up on your screen.
