Synchronize Your Brand

You’ve heard me say it: Branding is Everything. Your brand is the core, the foundation of all that you are and do for clients. This week, we invite you to take time to review your brand, in particular, where and how your logo and its branding elements are being used and seen in the marketplace. To help you do that, we created a Brand Synchronization tool.

Don’t Let Analysis Paralysis Take Over Your Marketing

Do we need some PR? Someone asked me why she couldn’t find us on Facebook. I feel like we’re being left behind in social media. Should we do that sponsorship? Maybe we should do something. Maybe we need a plan. It’s time to move the dial on our business plan…wait, we haven’t updated “the plan” since 2009. The New Year may be a good time to start. Let’s set a meeting to talk about our marketing. We

The Hollywood Remake, the Everyday Company Way

We see it every day: the revamp, refresh, reimagine or relaunch of movies and TV shows from 10, 20 and 30+ years ago. Oftentimes, these new versions are met with protests from a fan base unwilling to allow the update or alteration of the classic worlds and beloved characters the fans have come to know. Similarly, refreshing a corporate brand, while necessary from time to time, may bring resistance and protest from supporters, both internal
