Design is doing just fine. I'd say Marketing Team butter pickup their socks, and hang onto their c***s - time to get REAL, potent, to the point in their efforts for the brand. Employees need to become significant shareholders so THEY have a vote, a say in their own employment and put the focus on Executives making the decisions that run the company's divisions.
