		<description>Jim, sorry it took me a while to respond--you got caught in my spam web and I only discovered it today.

Glad you liked the brand audit article. I too found it very useful in shaping a cost effective strategy for a client.  And now a second client, ironically a friend&#039;s marketing and branding firm, wants one done for them. 

In doing the online research I discovered a variety of approaches, some taking up to a year to execute... and probably tens of thousands of dollars.  This approach seemed very streamlined and took less than a week and cost less than $1,000 for the client.

BTW, I&#039;ve found a lot of good information through the basic membership in MarketingProf.com. Once I even stumbled across an older online discussion about taglines for a company amzaingly similar to one of my marketing clients.  Of course, I &quot;borrowed&quot; a few of the best free ideas... although we ended up using one of our own invention: &quot;Advancing the art and science of living.&quot;

If you&#039;d like I can share more about the strategy we adapted from the article.  That&#039;s what this website is about:  sharing marketing ideas and solutions.</description>
