Let's start here http://www.branding-isobel-brookes.info Which is a proposed New Agency and a Blog which tells us where we are now....
This is the culmination of the efforts since April 8th...The story is in reverse! This is how it began......
I wonder if any of you would like to join me in a little experiment? It is my belief that it is possible to create a Brand, not just a logo, like say an Apple, before the very product.... decide, then bring that product to market. and at that, very cheaply.
This afternoon in, 2 hours, I put together this web site, to launch I know not what. It could be a new Brand Consultancy Apt701 Image Guidance Specialists, The Launch of ISOBEL BROOKES PhotoFusion Artist and Style Consultant.
I have started a FaceBook Page in tandem, and there is a Book, and 'Zine in the Pipeline. I have been careful with my wording, allowing the end product to be a flexible in outcome. Let's say if just by the power of the web, and various techniques, a commission is awarded...then I hope the point will have been made it.
If there are any issues, web manipulation, exploitation, or whatever bring them on, as healthy debate is part of the marketing mix.
Please let me know if you are interested in helping me with this project.

Good Morning SFN ers.... Well the publicity machine has been working through the night, not me, I've been do dos.. that is the beauty of the WWW It does it for you! whilst you sleep.
So what is going to come out of Ron's Big Mac today? Ah ha! Boat loads!!! We are working on the Pages for the new Art Department Online Mag Village Online, Pressing ahead with Blogs and Teeting like Tweets.. you should try it, it's great FUN!
For example the other day I Tweeted 'Knock Knock' and within seconds got the reply 'Hahaha Come in!' which actually cracked me right up..it's soooooo funny. The response was from a Twitter follower Uli who is a highly talented Art director based in San Fransisco and works with her team on Blue Chip Accounts such as Guinness, as I did in the 70s ( check out the Smart ad )... If you see her portfolio you will realise that there is a whole new ball game out there that has totally harnessed the power of the web and Social Marketing ....very interesting stuff!
Read on. I heart SFN
