Enough isn’t enough. Our beating hearts are voracious. They hunger for constant displays of attention and affection, and yearn for meaningful connection. So too, do your customers. Now at first blush, this sentiment may seem trivial and overly romanticized, but if you lose the ability to connect deeply with your audience, how can you ever expect to direct them toward action? Consider if you will, the emotional and economic turmoil faced by most, if...

Your Brand story: FACT OR FICTION? I think in words. Now that might seem painfully obvious at first blush, but deceptively less so once you actually give some thought as to how exactly YOU might think. When faced with an insurmountable obstacle, do you conjure ideas and solutions in the form of letters and words and deftly rolling sentences, or are you more inclined to envision images, illustrations, equations, colours or sounds...

Wash, sanitize and repeat. And then for good measure, triple-check your door locks and wash again. By now, we all know the drill in a global village crippled by virus-induced lockdown. And for that, no one needs to be incessantly bombarded with all the details concerning your valiant efforts to scrub down all staff and all surfaces. That, my friends, is what we call a “given” when facing the cold, hard realities...

As of April 1, 2020, Unfussy was scheduled to move its offices from our in-home studio to the third-floor of the swanky Alberta’s Industrial Heartland building near “downtown” Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. Alas, for now we will continue to work from home. This move was not intended to be an April Fool’s Day joke (we’re pretty sure all pranks not deemed...

In the winter of 1992, my high school Commercial Arts class boarded a bus for The Alberta College of Art and Design (ACAD) in Calgary. I remember not knowing what to expect, but hoping to learn something – anything – from those rebel artists in serious training for careers in creation. For me, this was an incredible opportunity to witness young gods in action as they birthed strange, beautiful life into...

The Simple Math of Big Brands for Small Business As originally published on Business Link  January, 2018 I’ll admit it – social media has me torn. As a father of teenage children, I resent the time suck and distraction of Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter and so on. On the other hand, as a brand strategist, community builder and most importantly, as a tamer of wild elephants, I recognize and appreciate the value of these tools as...

We’ve all heard the phrase “elephant in the room” to describe a very large issue that everyone is well aware of, yet nobody wants to talk about. But when is the elephant in the room not such a big, bad deal?

Everything old is new again, because the flame of original thought has long since been exhausted. Or so I was informed by my 15 year old, ‘80s-obsessed daughter, after she was tasked to watch a short TED Talk on the death of new creative and unique ideas for a grade 10 art assignment. “Hey man – I just do what I’m told” was her response to my flabbergasted face. “I didn’t...
