At Cronin Creative, we love the collaborative process of building powerful brands with our clients. After creating something strong, authentic, and unique to that client in their chosen market, we always stress the importance of maintaining that brand, keeping vigilant watch on every element of the messaging, every contact with every customer.
All too often, over time, that last piece of advice winds up being underplayed or even ignored. From a branding point of view, this can be a fatal mistake. Writing in Forbes magazine, author/branding consultant William Arruda summed it up as the difference between a promise made and a promise that’s actually delivered.
We hit the open road this year for our vacation trip to Rhode Island – two long days of driving to our favorite beach. As hard as I tried to leave work behind me, taking the freeway north turned out to be a non-stop branding barrage.
The usual fuel-and-fast-food-ahead signs, cluttered with the familiar logos, were one thing. But the real branding geniuses of the road are the trucking companies. Somewhere along the way, someone figured out that those semi-trailers are good for more than just hauling stuff from here to there. They also serve as billboards, their messages repeated ad infinitum as we made our way north. But – and here’s the catch – you don’t just pass them by like those old school, static billboards. No, these billboards roll right along with you!

“When it was time to do our television show, Karen Cronin and I had already done a lot of CD packaging and books and side projects together, so I knew that the set for the TV show was just a matter of turning the wheel in yet one more direction. We had one conversation, and I knew Cronin Creative had it covered. I’m spoiled.” – Marty Stuart

We jumped at the chance to design the commemorative book for Alan Shuptrine: Appalachian Watercolors of the Serpentine Chain, an exhibition currently on view at the Tennessee State Museum. Shuptrine's nationally renowned watercolors and handcrafted frames pay tribute to the land and people found along the Appalachian Trail. Be sure to check out this amazing exhibit (and while you're there, pick up a copy of the Cronin Creative-designed book!)
