Branding and the Modern Marketing Mix
Holli Martin of Hype Creative enlightened us on "Branding and the Modern Marketing Mix". Holli showed us the many types and forms of branding. You ask what is PR. . . "everything you do or say is PR". You ask who needs branding? . . . people, places, businesses, events and campaigns. She stressed how being consistent with all forms of advertising is very important. What image do you want to portray? Who is your audience? What should your tag line be? It should state in a few words what you do. She even sighted right down to the color you choose to convey your image...it is all very important. It's easy to see that she is very gifted and loves what she does....thanks Holli for opening our "creative eye".
