Staffing and growth

A 5 on the letterhead wants the roles of a 5 inside: marketing, communication, customer presentation (finance with an 8). Real estate, retail, import and export, digital marketing, hospitality, logistics, agriculture and telecom all name 5 first, and e-commerce, technology and media rate it second, because reach, movement and communication are the product in every one of them.
