Tuesday quick notes

Wal-Mart continues to struggle in many of its overseas markets. Reportedly they have closed a couple German stores and are considering further closures.

Ad Age tells us that the average CMO lasts 23 months in the job.

Nokia is going to open its own store in Chicago (on the Magnificent Mile, of course) this coming weekend. It will be one of four in the US and 18 worldwide. It's part of the trend of manufacturers to open stores, the counter-trend to retailers going private label, though it is of course at least as much an effort to brand as to sell product.
