In a time when algorithms dominate strategy decks and short-term wins often overshadow long-term meaning, a quiet revolution is brewing.
Marketers are rediscovering the power of 
brand
 — not as a logo or a tagline, but as a living, breathing story that audiences feel in their bones. And few leaders are navigating that shift better than 
Jeff Jenkins, EVP of Global Marketing of Carter’s
, who’s been helping one of America’s most beloved brands find new resonance with modern families.

Brand vs. Performance: Finding the Balance 
Why CMOs struggle to sell in brand investments — and how Jeff makes the case to the boardroom that 
brand is performance
 when done right.
The Pendulum Is Swinging 
As consumers tune out generic, transactional ads, how can brands lean back into 
authentic storytelling
 — the kind that’s shown, not just told?
Creative Partners Who Push the Brand Forward 
Behind the scenes of working with his agencies, and what happens when you give creativity room to breathe.

Museums

江涛波浪

The Coca-Cola Museum is very good. It has a great location, a large area, and a beautiful environment. It is refreshing. There are also Chinese elements, which makes me linger. I will go there again next time I go to the United States 🇺🇸. It allowed me to understand the development process of Coca-Cola Company around the world and its business model, management model and philosophy. I hope Coca-Cola Company will get better and better!

Centennial Olympic Park

小笼包沙发

This square is a large park in the middle of the street, free. You can stroll around when you have time, take photos at the Fifth Ring Road, etc. There is a Ferris wheel next to it, and the view of the surrounding buildings is pretty good. Then walk to the CNN headquarters in 5 minutes.

Atlanta History Center

小溪小海

After reading the comments and pictures of previous travel friends, I feel that the museum has been renovated after 2020. The refurbishment effect is very good, but the tickets have also risen~ not everyone said $16.5, I paid $27! And no cash, no UnionPay card. There is too much content. Come here, equivalent to a museum + forest park + celebrity residence + zoo, or the best place for a new wedding and beautiful photos to punch in. After a day of walking, I haven&#39;t finished shopping. Can $27 be worth it? There are movies and interpreters in the exhibition hall, usually thinking that English is OK, but now it seems that it is still not enough.
