How marketers plan

to spend their budget

in 2014

“An asteroid big enough to wipe out most of Europe is hurtling towards Earth, astronomers have warned. The giant space rock, scheduled to sweep close to the Earth on March 21 2014, is large and fast enough to devastate a continent should a collision occur.“

“However, the chances of an impact are minuscule. They were estimated at one in 909,000 - more likely than winning the National Lottery jackpot, but less likely than drowning in the bath!”
