Defining A Brand
We are often asked to help our clients understand their market position, how their brand is perceived and how it stands out among competitors.  In order to do that, companies and organizations must be able to define and describe themselves within the 5 aspects of a brand:
  1. Brand promise
  2. Brand elements
  3. Brand persona
  4. Brand perceptions
  5. Brand expectations

Moving Out and Moving On
When Linda McAleer founded The Melior Group, like many entrepreneurs, she started the business out of her home, with two small bedrooms becoming the offices.  At the end of one work day, she walked into her own bedroom and one employee was collating a report on her bed, while another was taking a shower before going out that night.  At that point, Linda knew there was too much mixing of personal and business lives... the next day, she started looking for office space!
