The School Age Child

... who learns about disappearing lions, tigers, leopards, rhinos, coral reefs, orcas, birds, salmon, polar bears, and other species, water shortages, pollution, and rising global temperatures, may well become the owner of a computer, a car, may live in a city, dine out, purchase clothes, food, and home consumer goods, very shortly.

The Purpose Driven Brand

91% of global consumers would switch brands if a different brand of similar price and quality supported a good cause. 87% of global consumers believe that business needs to place at least equal weight on society's interests as on business' interests. 54% of consumers don't trust brands.

BRAND AS STORY

A brand is a story. As the story evolves, the brand evolves.

Successful brands are based on authenticity. Satisfaction, delight, laughter, your site and your brand must communicate feelings.

The Living Brand. We establish a process and a platform, a direction and guideposts for a LIVING brand of emotionally and cognitively authentic stories.

A Living Brand will grow and become more compelling and engaging over time.

Website AS platform

A website is a platform for the brand -- a hub for integrated communications and social media engagement.
