@PeterAtLarge Branding seems a bit "uncreative", perhaps if an artist focused on developing a body of work, that would suffice as a brand?

@PeterAtLarge I think it is very useful for creative people to create a "brand" out of their name or otherwise. Nick Treadway is my brand.

@PeterAtLarge Branding is useful for EVERYONE who offers a product or service. We all have traits and skills that set us apart.

@PeterAtLarge branding is BS imho, if you or your work can't stand by itself need to rethink the core product, not just how you present.

@PeterAtLarge Yes! "Branding" makes products/services recognizable as coming from a specific source & helps cultivate a loyalty & trust

@PeterAtLarge I think branding is always important. I try to use my name as my brand.

@PeterAtLarge if you own a brand I believe it to be your own stepping stone of accomplishment. But I do not want someone else to brand me.

@PeterAtLarge i think everything you do or put out there (facebook, twitter, etc) creates your brand regardless of if you want it or not.

@PeterAtLarge I do see it as a useful tool. It helps generate publicity, even if its unwarranted.http://wrightwilliams.org #persistblog

@PeterAtLarge Branding as an individual "Talent" or user of "X" brand? The former rather than the later- spotlight Style/Persective

@PeterAtLarge Great question Peter. Actually I'm really pessimistic about this world emptied of its sense

@PeterAtLarge Religion has been replaced by modernism/science as we became as master and owner of nature

dyvantity

@PeterAtLarge but today, we're understanding that nature is not ours (it's leaving because of us)

My own tweet:

A brand? A mark seared into living flesh with a redhot iron to assert ownership. As in cattle. Or slaves. A nice metaphor, eh? Think about it. Sizzle!

Okay, that's a few characters too long. I had to condense a bit, but that's the intent of it.

I'LL BE POSTING SOME FACEBOOK COMMENTS LATER. STAY TUNED.
