I know we’re all in this together, but I must admit when I stumbled on a website for a company called Brand Identity Guru, I was more than just a little flabbergasted to discover that they had, well, “ripped off” a section of our website. Is this reason for concern? You be the judge.
Go to brainsonfire.com and the click on “THE FIRE.” Go ahead and proceed to take the test. Take it once, read the questions and answer all NO and then take it again and answer all YES. Now go to brandidentityguru.com and click on “Play the Brand Game.” Again, choose all NO one time and then choose all YES.
Should we be flattered that another company in the same industry liked our idea enough to use it, or should we be appalled that another company in the same industry (which, really, is an idea industry) isn’t being original?

But the reason that I love him is that he is just plain tickled at the fact that I’m talking about him on this blog. A master of self-promotion (and a purposely transparent one), Seth has made fans and followers out of tens. Okay, out of thousands. And while I don’t always agree with Papa Seth, he’s cool with that – as long as I’m talking about him.
He may just have this whole thing figured out.
Nah.

Hmm… and they spent 2.9 billion on traditional ads last year.
