Big Changes

Doubling up on the posts today, but for a very good reason. Something big just happened in my life, and I think it is something worth sharing with you. On September 6th, I got married. This is a very large change, one which will take a little bit of getting used to. Big changes are something we all must face, and though change is naturally intimidating, it is often a good thing.
In my particular case, this is a much welcomed change -- one which was the result of much planning and though. However, often times big changes aren't the result of planning. Changes happen, and we must adapt to them. Regardless of whether or not the changes in your life are planned, I will argue that change is good.
Change allows for growth. Change allows for experience. Change forces us from our comfort zones and pushes into the current of life. Change keeps life interesting, preventing us from settling into a rut of stagnation which leaves us unproductive and unfulfilled.
I encourage you to always embrace change, be it in your personal life or your business. I've just made one, and I couldn't be happier.

 Best,

-Jacob

My Personal Opinion Of Sound In Advertising

Sound is most commonly used when advertising over radio (obviously) or some sort of music streaming service. This makes absolute sense, as those types of media are entirely reliant on sound. I am writing this post today to discuss my opinions on the use of sound in some of its forms. Sound is clearly a very broadly defined word. I can be talking about music, voices or even - if you ascribe to the same philosophy as Simon and Garfunkel - the complete absence of sound; silence. I actually want to start with silence. Silence can be extremely impactful, drawing your attention to the visuals in order to compensate for the lack of noise. When done correctly, this can ad a true sense of gravity to a moment. In the context of advertising, silence can be an excellent tool when seeking to grab attention. People have a tendency to lose attention during commercial breaks on television, and so a very sudden shift, from music and voices to utter silence, can have quite an affect, causing the viewe...

Talk To Me

So I've been running this blog for a little while now, and while its not the first blog I've written (I've had at least 3 or 4 in the past), it is likely the one that I've put the most work into. One thing I like about Blogger is the fact that I can check the stats. With the click of a button, I can see the number of views on posts, the time they were viewed and even the country from which they were viewed. Unsurprisingly, the largest concentration of views come from within the United States, but I also have, much to my surprise, quite a few readers in Germany as well. This ability to get a sense for who my readers are has led me to wonder: What do you all want to know? This is not a hypothetical question either. I genuinely want to hear from you.  In the top right corner of your screen is a little drop-down menu where, should you click on it, you can send me a message. You can also comment on the individual posts as well. I welcome any and all correspondence, ...

Power Of The Brand

If you're a business, it is important to have a brand. Your brand is who you are. It is an amalgamation of your words, your actions and how you are seen. Your brand also conveys your personality. Think of some businesses that have a lot of personality, such as Wendy's or Nike. Each of these brands has a very strong sense of self. You could probably watch a commercial for Nike, minus the name and logo, and still be able to identify it as a Nike ad. That is a sign of success. That instant recognition means that your branding has been effective. How do I make my branding effective? Well, one of the most important things is consistency. By being consistent, you begin to build a concentrated image. This image provides stability, recognition and verification. Without consistency in branding, an organization runs the risk of appearing shallow or fake. This can be the result of a brand who is inconsistent with its advertising or with its own positioning. Imagine if Hallmark suddenl...
