“Corporate Meets Culture-Beyond Employer-Branding” (diepresse.com)

When you look at successful international corporations there are several different reasons why they perform better and develop faster than competitors. Yet, one key element to strong and healthy corporations remains common: employees that are eager and proud to be part of the company.

“Corporation Meets Culture – Beyond Employer-Branding” (diepresse.com)

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

Corporation Meets Culture- Beyond employer branding (diepresse.com)

1) I am a human being. I count. 2) I am intelligent. Corporations tend to be able to use that. 3) I am poor. Let the firm pay me. 4) I become better every day. My superior always pulls the blinds when I find myself (yet again) in his office. And smiles contentedly.

“Corporation Meets Culture – Beyond Employer-Branding” (diepresse.com)

Due to globalization the demand all-embracing, cross-linked thinking increases, whereas the reduction of the cultural and social barriers melt aiming for efficiency in the operational and organizational structure.

Introducing... the web walk on!

Okay so it's time for me to do a little self-promotion. I've just released the newest and greatest product in the 5SonStudios family of products.

Have you ever wished that it was more immediately clear what you do when your customers visit your website? Have you ever felt the need to point to a specific aspect of your website or welcome someone in a more "lively" fashion that can be done images and photography alone?

Oh yeah? My Sister is a web designer.

Really? and my uncle plays golf on the weekends but he's not Tiger FREAKIN Woods!!!

Why is it that every profession on earth has a barrier to entry except ours?

Any imbecelle with a computer and a copy of Photoshop can call themselves a creative professional.

Hell, "artist" is now Goddamned code for "lazy bum".

Finding Positives in a Negative Slant.

OK, so the other day I broke down and finally hired a salesperson. His name is Scott and he has been a friend of mine since I was 14.

I went ahead and got him some business cards and gave him the tools to go out there and get me some business.

Now before I tell you all the issue of the day I think it's fair to point out that Scott and I are good friends but he isn't "in" the business... he comes from a sales background b

Get back in the GOD DAMNED box!!!

No, I'm not rehearsing a script for the lead in a sadomasochistic short story.... I'm thinking about what I think every time I hear a client tell me that they are really wanting "out of the box" concepts for their work.

Typically, when a client asks for such a thing what they really want is simple, effective advertising... which is fine... safe... dull... boring.... and actually pretty lame ass advertising but it's fine I guess. We can do boring too and it pays the bills.

But to…

New versus Old

Today, professional photography has taken a backseat to camera phones and digital frames, photo bucket and scrap booking. Although all of these have a place in our lives, don't forget the beauty and joy of a special portrait. Portraits are made at the beach, a theme park or even in the family bed. They can be as unique as your fingerprint.

One photographer who has used some interesting ideas in his photography is Christopher Bridge. Check…
