creative briefing

35 days have passed since the launch of this blog, and in that time, I am happy to have written 17 marketing, design, and entrepreneur-focused articles. There is still a long way to go in building up my readerbase and subscriberbase to a healthy number, but I was pleased to see that over the course of this maiden month, traffic did indeed steadily increase.

Naturally, like all things, creativebriefing.com is about growth and improvement. I hope to continue developing my abilities to entertain readers through my writing and insight, while in return, I hope to hear some feedback on how I can do that more effectively.

In the mean time, here’s a recap of this first month’s best posts:

Project: Home Office
I received a lot of great recommendations from different people on what to include in my creative haven (aka my soon-to-be home office). I’ll soon be writing a follow-up to this post to consolidate my shopping list and to once again call for more feedback. Feel free to keep adding to the list!

Branded Comments
I carried on a great discussion with graphic designer David Airey on the topic of branding your comments and avatars on blogs. Is it spam? Does it work? Does it deteriorate the concept of personal interaction that is the premise of blogging and today’s online social tools? You be the judge.

Non-traditional marketing
An interesting case of non-traditional marketing using a high-reach marketing medium. Too bad nobody knows what they’re selling.

Return on Entrepreneurship
This is a recent post that hasn’t quite made it to the top 5 list, but it’s a personal favourite. It takes a lot to leap into an entrepreneurial career, but man does it feel great. This post is a reflection of my celebration of entrepreneurship. If you’re an entrepreneur or a freelancer, then I want to hear about your ROE!
