I’ve just come back from my Friday morning walk with a friend and I’m feeling great. Also great is that our COVID-19 case numbers are coming down…way to go Victoria. It hasn’t been easy, nor perfect, but we have made it through together. It prompts me to think about what else we can achieve if […]
Recently I met with a potential client. He was interested in working with me on his marketing. He is launching a new brand in an industry that is quite foreign to me, just the thing that gets me excited. As our discussion progressed, he mentioned a friend of his who had told him that branding […]
