Some of the sites we like - just in case you're interested.
www.allaboutbranding.com
a great site at which to find articles and
opinions from the best minds in branding. Yeah, OK, they publish our stuff
... but there's a lot more to it than that.
www.markdisomma.com
Our very own Mark Di Somma struts his stuff with articles, opinions (there's a surprise!), and the chance to book him live for keynotes and workshops. Your chance too to sign up for Heretics Anonymous and have a giggle at Mark's latest targets.
www.fastcompany.com
Interesting opinions on all aspects of business for
new economy acolytes. We've been fans for years. Ever since an article
called "Failure is an option" in fact. With a title like that, who's not
going to read ...?
www.igorinternational.com
Throw the switch, and sink into the attitude.
The naming gurus - with class, sass and a groovy newsletter. Bright,
articulate, irreverent ... chocolate for the mind.
www.sethgodin.com
The man who brought the world permission marketing, has
now gone on to breed a purple cow. Compelling and refreshing business
reading. Five dude points for attitude.
www.tmi.co.nz
TMI New Zealand delivers Exciting Company Cultures (cool thought!) by
designing and implementing human-factor based business solutions that, in their words, link strategy with service delivery, to produce real and sustained impact through people.
www.nutshell.net.nz
Internal brand culture strategy company with experience to die for. Don't let the low-key modest approach fool you. Hiding behind the succinct exterior is some of the most high octane psychology on branding a culture. Basically, call Nutshell when you need to move mountains.
www.lucjam.com
Jam good! Pop culture research and brand strategy from the company that's
turned cool-hunting into a science, an art and a tight little website to
boot. We took back everything we'd said about researchers after going here.
Check out their American Brandstand - innovative thinking on how to track
the brands that matter.
www.thinkbox.co.nz
Take a look around you. How many versions of the magic box do you have in your life? Over there in the corner, a tv, a computer, a pda, a cell phone, a fridge, an ATM? How about your friends magic boxes, or your customers? Want fries with that shake? How about help with that message?
Thinkbox :: uncontained creativity :: new media from the inside out.
