Quotables

“NFTs are non-fungible tokens, and the reason it's on our list is because right now it is the hottest trend in marketing.” — @AllisonFitzpat1“In truth, if you told me a year ago that we'd still be talking about NFTs, I really did think it was a fad that was going to go away. But no, it's No. 1 on our list for a reason because it is the hottest trend in marketing and promotions right now.” — @AllisonFitzpat1“It's not just been a trend for a year – it's been a trend for 10 years right now. But 10 years ago they were called bloggers. Now they're called influencers, and some are even called TikTokers.” — @AllisonFitzpat1“I think it really does make a big difference in the marketing landscape by having the availability of some of these college athletes who have very powerful names right now.” — @AllisonFitzpat1“If you do not have enough supply to satisfy the reasonably anticipated demand, you really shouldn't advertise it because it could be considered bait-and-switch advertising.” — @AllisonFitzpat1
