Be Successful for them

"Find someone to be successful for. 
Raise their hopes. 
Rise to their needs."

Branding

So our name is Panacea. The Cure All.
I read an article today on building a brand for your company. It asks "How important is a concept's name? What does it contribute to the brands identity?" it then states, "A name is a promise to the customer."
I started thinking how could we make Panacea true to its name.

So here are my thoughts:
Panacea is an empowering agency.
You, the people are the answer. I strongly believe that each person has tremendous power - due to the very nature of who they are! So our goal would be to help people see that. Help them find their own answers to the difficulties in their lives. Like when you ask for help or advise from someone and as you speak with them you end up coming up with the answer on your own. (it happens to me all the time!)
Each and every one of us is completely capable of improving our own situations. (even if it's just in our attitude!)
Saying that I do not want to down play the inequalities that exist in the world - because they are ever present. Still we each have that personal potential and internal strength to rise above the world.

The Story of Stuff

I thought this was exactly why I went into Industrial Design! (Even though I am still contributing to the problem...my goal is to break out of that!)
