Website Comments and Feedback

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

Please put any comments and questions you have about our shiny new website and blog in the “leave a reply section” below.

  1. What works for you?
  2. What doesn’t work for you?
  3. Is it easy to use?
  4. Do we make sense?

Want to know how we did it. Ask us…

It’s young, energetic, and yearning for attention and some good people to help it grow up, so don’t hold back.

Thanks

Delicious Updated

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

I’ve just updated my delicious page with lots of links to articles and information on sonic branding and the use and management of sound, voice and music in brand communication.

Authors include brand strategists, lawyers, visual designers, customer experience/usability designers and web/digital media creators and a few of us soundies as well.

It provides a nice well rounded view of sound as a brand reinforcement, communication and marketing tool.

Last time I looked I had cataloged around 100 articles on the the topic so there’s more too come.

In the meantime let me know what you’re interested in, and I’ll tag the articles so that they are easier for you to locate on the delicious page.

Enjoy and happy information overload.

You might one day hear a watered down , soulless “copy” of this on a car ad or something similar and wonder why it doesn’t “work”.

This music is a breath of fresh air.

When in doubt go back to the source.

Say Thank You Please.

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

When was the last time some one thanked you?

It’s surprising how people have gotten used to being taken for granted.
Years ago I credited a colleague (hi Nige, doing well mate) on a showreel for his mixing  and production.His surprised ‘thanks Marz” made me think that people don’t do this very often.
Now this guy has helped a lot of people out, and most of all me. The least he deserves as does anyone, is a thank you and a few jobs thrown his way, because money talks and bullshit walks right.
 Contact me by posting a comment if you want a producer who listens as well as hears and I’ll pass you on to Nigel.

So some quick thank yous to:

Seth Godin for posting a blog on my blog. The amber theatre’s podcast downloads have rocketed as a result; &

Cass at Meccamedialight- new media consultancy-who recommended that I start a blog because “it’s all about community”.

Oh yeah and don’t forget: No one likes  a sycophant
