Just saying something is disruption doesn’t make it so. Another disingenuous, sentimental and pretentious campaign by a major corporation. Well done BMF

Not quite sure if the words disingenuous, sentimental and pretentious make sense when all used in the same sentence?

Disruption can take place in all shapes and forms. Will be interesting to see how they intend on disrupting an industry that is perceived to be a laggard. Only time will tell.
