PRO TIP: Document your brand standards and follow them! One of the first steps you can do before practicing Attraction Marketing is to define and document all of the visual and verbal elements of your brand. Do you have a logo? Consistent fonts? Colors you always use? What textures and images make up your brand? How do you say what you do? Who are your best clients? How do you describe the transformation you create for them? If you're making these things up on the fly, you are not creating the impact you could be with your marketing. Many of my clients are the best at what they do, but they haven’t taken the time to get their marketing together. They’ve already had success with piecemeal branding and referral-only growth, and are looking to level-up so that their marketing matches their goals. If that sounds like you...and you need a hand defining, documenting and then leveraging your brand to attract your ideal clients, reach out! https://lnkd.in/dfxT6Rf

How do you know if it's creative? I do have a friend [since passed] who wrote a book based on her deep interest and research in Creative Products. It’s called Creating Products in the Age of Design. You will find deeper details on the contents of this brief post by digging into it. There are some really cool things we know about creativity. We understand a lot about climates conducive to creative behavior, the traits, abilities, and affinities of creative people, the ways in which we go about getting creative (process), and how we know something is creative (product/outcome). This post from the past is about that last bit. https://lnkd.in/dBAHV5A

So excited about the release of this new guide, leveraging the expertise, experience, and candor of my longtime friend and collaborator, Ian Delmonte. If you're new to working with a designer or a design firm, or if it hasn't always been a seamless process, check out this new guide. It takes you from the big decisions about what you want, through choosing a design partner and keeping the project (and the relationship) on track, to giving (and getting) feedback when the work is complete. And the written brief is supplemented with video clips from Ian that provide more context on critical elements. Please check it out and share!
