Brand Storytelling Becomes a Booming Business | Irresistible Content | Scoop.it
As businesses struggle to establish a strong corporate identity, there's no shortage of enterprises waiting to help.

 

Copywriter Laura Scholes was doing work for some entrepreneurs when she realized that although they offered valuable products, they had no brand identity to support them. "They came to me and said, 'I need help writing my website,' and I thought, 'No, you need help building your brand,'" she says. "They were so concerned with talking about what they did and how well they did it that they weren't connecting with their audience, which is crucial."

Seriebranschen förändras. Läsarna har blivit färre, men mediet har blivit accepterat och historierna breder ut sig i andra kanaler.

Comics are becoming a powerful option for transmedia projects so it's interesting to look at how the genre is evolving ...

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's curator insight, March 12, 7:48 AM

Comic book geeks: Marvel loves you. But it wants to expand its social circle. Don't worry.
