I was hunting for some retro TV images for a product I’m making and I stumbled on these fabulous vintage style ads for social media stuff, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, You Tube etc. One way to stand out is to mix 2 styles that appear to contradict each other but blend them in a way that [...]

One of the biggest challenges coaching entrepreneurs to step into the spotlight and get noticed is getting them to accept the notion that it’s better to be different than to be better.
