Insight180: The branding agency for those businesses that sell the invisible. Helping small- to mid-size service firms better tell their stories and grow is why we are in business. Experience tells us that marketing success stems from good positioning strategy, which means that in order to successfully market an advisory business, you have to uncover what makes you different from your competitors.

You have to know where you stand within your marketplace and how you compare to your competitors in your customer’s mind.

We’ve been working with advisory businesses for 12 years and understand the challenges in branding and marketing your business. Whether you are in need of a better website that your staff can more easily manage, ready to expand your social networking opportunities, or find yourself facing growth that requires a new look at your brand, there are many ways we can help. Here are some of the services we can provide:

Success Comes To Those Who Dare To Be Different

When you look at and define the ways that you are different from your competitors, you become empowered to target specific messages that address specific customer needs. You become able to position yourself as a leader in what you do. And suddenly your ability to market your services gets much easier. You’re no longer unsure of what to do. You no longer have to take a hit-or-miss approach at spending your marketing dollars. Marketing becomes an extension of how you transact business and how you interact with customers. The customer service you provide, the resources you include in your website, the value you deliver your clients every day — all become opportunities to reinforce your highly defined and articulated way of providing services that is uniquely yours. We can help you get there.

Have you been watching the Winter Olympics this week? If so, what do you think about design? Did you notice how the artwork is meant to mimic human movement? Pretty cool!

Here's what insight180 Art Director Bethany Howell has to say about this year's Olympic branding: "The design definitely shows human movement and expression like it was intended and is really well executed but I think one thing that is lacking this year is the tie back to culture. The pictographs are fluid and amazing and look like ice skating “marks" but I think all the elements need that cultural edge... I miss the allure of the cultural element. Even the logo is white like winter and not vivid like the colors of Italy."

To honor and remember the impactful life and legacy of Reverend Jesse Jackson, today we're sharing this article from Upworthy.com about that special time when Jesse Jackson visited the children of Sesame Street (and beyond) to let them know just how special they were... each and every one of them... regardless of race, religion, or status.

"In 1971, a young Jesse Jackson stood on the steps of 123 Sesame Street and got a bunch of kids to chant "I Am — Somebody," a poem by civil rights activist Rev. William Holmes Borders Sr."

I may be poor. But I am Somebody!
I may be young. But I am Somebody!
I may make a mistake. But I am Somebody!
I must be respected, protected, never rejected.
I am God's child.
I am Somebody!

And then pass it on. Because everybody needs to know that they are "Somebody."

The civil rights icon stopped by Sesame Street for an unforgettable visit.
