Blabber Duckie recently hit the road to Dayton, Ohio [ July 29, 2009 ]. We belong to an amazing business networking organization known as Rainmakers. This summer Rainmakers busted outside of Indiana and now also exist in Ohio. Boundless Design [ Blabber Duckie ] wanted to be a part of this huge growth so we went on a small road trip to check out the Dayton, Ohio Rainmaker launch. During our trip to this launch we met several amazing folks and many new businesses as the energy was truly incredible.

One person I met stood out greatly as he once worked with Design Forum. Interbrand Design Forum is a company I’ve always greatly admired and even right out of art school [ IU Bloomington - Studio Arts ] greatly considered working for as I have a true love/passion for both graphic design and interior design. Design Forum is known for environmental design. As I was networking and talking more with Michael at Rainmakers he said to me “you know Design Forum is only a couple of miles up the road.” So of course since Blabber Duckie was so very close to Design Forum we did a drive by to check out their digs.

Brand is extremely complicated and if you ask 10 people more than likely you’ll receive 10 different responses. Although brand is a living breathing concept that encompasses everything from a companies logo, to a companies working space, to how a company answers their telephones, etc. It is key to be mindful of your brand as the details do matter.
