BrandsAmongMany

Just a quick welcome to our newest writer, Max Katsarelas. An ad student at Michigan State University, Max has bounced between student and agency life over the last couple of years in pursuit of his advertising and creative dreams. Say hello to Max here, or at any of these other fine social media outlets: Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr, Tumblr, or Twitter. Max previously wrote for us over at Beyond Madison Avenue; he offers a unique look at the industry from a student perspective. And, of course, he’s always open to your thoughts on where to head from here, so feel free to offer him any thoughts you might have.

Gone are the days of simply SHOUTING louder than the next guy and expecting your voice to be heard and your message to be well-received. Responsible brands are breaking that mold and interacting with - not talking at - their consumers. BrandsAmongMany is a place to discuss the future of creative communications - rich ideas vs. big ideas, consumers vs. communities, and advertising vs. conversation. We’re not an advertising blog, but rather a place to share and proliferate the ideas and ideals that are moving forward the world of the Brand.

BrandsAmongMany is part of the *AmongMany network, a collection of sites bound together by an interest in creative ideals and a belief that we can change the world (even if it is just a little bit). If you like what you’re reading here, take a minute to peruse the other sites in the network. And feel free to give us a shout anytime!
