		<description><![CDATA[The results of the Country Brands Index 2008, the report tailored by FutureBrand about the power of country brands, has brought somewhat disappointing results for Brand Greece. While in 2006 Greece was considered the 5th country brand and in 2007 Greece was considered the 9th most powerful country brand, in 2008 the country&#8217;s rankings have [...]]]></description>

The report is based upon the tone of the mention every UNO country gets every time in leading world media. With algorithms, EastWest can analyze whether the mention&#8217;s tone is positive or negative. According to [...]]]></description>

The GNTO, Greece&#8217;s National Tourist Board, has posted in its website the spots that will be aired on TV and other media -rich platforms. They intend to convey Greece&#8217;s &#8220;the true experience&#8221;, but in my eyes all of them fail to communicate it convincingly enough.You can watch them and make your own opinion by visiting [...]]]></description>

Yes, you see it. Greece has commited it again. The same crime. Just a few months after having done it on another mag. Greece&#8217;s FDI committe has purchased again pages and pages in Business Week to waste them with useless advertising.
