Design can save a struggling business but it can’t save horrible leadership and management—Design is a process of discovery and it can discover bad leadership and management.

I love brands, complex problems, identifying solutions to those problems, and finding ways to leverage opportunities.
About us
For over two decades, I have specialized in cultivating strategic partnerships to develop high-quality business solutions that significantly impact brand design and development. My approach emphasizes a tailored, consultative service model rather than a standardized offering. I seek opportunities with companies that seamlessly integrate research and development (R&D), innovation, and brand design and development. My goal is to drive impactful business, advertising, and marketing outcomes across packaging design, store design, events, and overall experience design, among other consumer-facing initiatives. My primary focus areas include manufacturing, consumer goods, and fintech. Through a combination of expertise, innovation, strong business relationships, exceptional service delivery, and a commitment to client success, I deliver tangible results. As a brand-focused business solutions consultant, I collaborate with agencies and private organizations to achieve their objectives.

Reality induces a response…. effective marketing and advertising requires simple and impactful messaging, and what better use than highlighting the reality children face in schools. We have seen similar used to lower motor vehicle collisions, evidently purpose dictates intent. As derek walker said, “we shouldn’t have to do work around this subject.” Can marketing and advertising be used for good? A question I asked and answered a few years ago, and the answer is still yes—notwithstanding the cleverness of this ad around a heavy tropic.

The moment you believe you build brands you’ve missed the point—I have said this several times, for a very long time, but perhaps someone in a stronger position can help emphasize the message. Brand design and development does not build brands, it’s a process that helps to define, shape and curate the brand, and its branding/messaging. Your customers build the brand based on what they do after experience what the brand offers and represents—The brand forms after the experience ends. Your professional service brand is perhaps your company’s most valuable asset. What Levin O’Leary says below is what I believe results in Althea other nuances of brand management, online and in the physical space. Do the proper things and your branding, SEO, marketing and advertising will benefit from people coming to you, not you trying to make them find you through SEO and assumptions made about marketing and advertising, or your branding. All those things will have good results because of the customer’s behavior. #Repost @kevinolearytv A brand is one of the most valuable things you can create and it’s your customers who build it for you. They’re the ones who gift you the value and equity of a brand. The most powerful element of a brand is not dollars spent on advertising, it’s one customer telling another about how much they like your product or service.

The road to your liberation is removing the fear of money, being brave enough to set proper pricing, being accountable for delivering on that price, and learning to say no. “Revenue is Vanity, Profit is Sanity and Cash is King” — Alan Miltz Simply put, without profit, no business can survive, and there is no brand, or agency to boast about.

Great copywriting that innovated advertising and changed the tides for an automotive brand.
Brand consultant | Strategic advisor | Brand & Marketing Design Judge: pac-awards.com | Writer | Art & Design | Advertising | Creative Director
I have always liked great copywriting, in fact, it inspired my last website… old print ads with bold black and white copy. But great copywriting typically comes from critical thinking and a great challenge, in marketing and advertising, it’s usually a business challenge. This and a post from 42courses inspired this post, and the research for it. A Tale of Advertising Innovation In the 1970s, the advertising agency Ammirati & Puris introduced a tagline that would not only transform the BMW brand but also revolutionize the advertising landscape: "The Ultimate Driving Machine." Before this iconic phrase, BMW struggled to gain a foothold in the U.S. market. The brand lacked a distinct identity, and many consumers were unfamiliar with the German automaker. Enter Bob Lutz, then Executive Vice President of BMW Global Sales and Marketing. Impressed by Ammirati & Puris' work on Fiat campaigns, Lutz decided to give the agency a shot at redefining BMW. However, winning the BMW account wasn't easy. Ammirati & Puris had to challenge the prevailing perception of the brand. At the time, BMW was often associated with older, more traditional drivers. But the agency saw a different potential customer: affluent activists. These were individuals who embraced a healthy lifestyle and sought cars that reflected their personal values. With this insight, Ammirati & Puris crafted the "Ultimate Driving Machine" campaign. The tagline captured the essence of BMW's performance and driving experience, appealing to a new generation of consumers. The campaign was a resounding success, propelling BMW to new heights in the U.S. market and solidifying Ammirati & Puris' reputation as a leading advertising agency. Images first and second: The original layout for the second BMW print ad by Ammirati & Puris. The first BMW print ad was actually a photo of the BMW with the now-known phrase, “The ultimate driving machine." And... the rest is history Information source here: https://lnkd.in/eK6PHg9d Third image: Two page ad photo for sale on EBay. https://lnkd.in/eYTjdAeJ
