Like a cawing seagull, it is my sad duty to remind you that summer days are waning and fall deadlines are looming. I'd be happy to help you get a head start on your critical creative projects - and I won't try to swipe your French fries.

Everything starts somewhere. In the introduction to Chapter 1 of Incremental Branding, we offer a rapid-fire overview of some historical contributors to the evolution of branding.

They say a picture is worth 1000 words. One of the topics Darcy Ann Flanders and I will cover in Incremental Branding is how to figure out which 1000 words you want your images to be worth. Let us know what comes to mind when you look at our cover image (created by the great team at BaselineGroupNY). © Steven Skyles-Mulligan and Darcy Ann Flanders. All rights reserved.

Ever wonder what really goes into building a brand? Is there a right or wrong order? What do you really need right away vs what can you create later? How do you get the most from your limited time and money? Over the next year, of and I will break it down in digestible bits as we share what we’ve learned in our collective 50+ years of working with brands. When we’re all done, our book, Incremental Branding: How to Build the Brand You Want with the Budget You Have will be complete. We’re excited to have you join us on this journey. © Steven Skyles-Mulligan and Darcy Ann Flanders. All rights reserved.

Another fun and informative collaboration with one of Evoke's clients.

On September 1, 2018, Anthony T. Simari, Esq., joined Holm & O’Hara LLP as a partner in our real estate group focusing on multi-family properties. Anthony is a seasoned professional; in each of the last five years, he has closed transactions for properties collectively valued at more than $200,000,000. After his first six months with the firm, we had a conversation about some of the most important—and interesting—aspects of his work. Link: https://bit.ly/2EDd4ag.
