Greetings! This week's featured PRO Trend -- Trainwreck Fascination -- demonstrates the power emotional connections between a consumer and brand can have. While brands should always be putting their best face forward, organizations that display authentic and honest behavior will stand out in the minds of consumers. Brands that are able to admit mistakes and face their criticism are more likely to attract consumers on the basis of emotions and personal experiences. Enjoy!
