Bloomberg on Wednesday appointed New York's first chief marketing contents and inimitable mystique as a brand available for corporate purchase. His job, monumental in scope, will be to offer the city and its after Mayor Michael R.
In other words, the city, needing ready cash, will go about N.B.A. sells the Nascar. or Nascar sells selling its outsized cachet roughly the way the N.B.A. This potentially means a flurry of city trademarks, city-blessed to buy the Brooklyn Bridge.
