Our new office is open!

We are proud to announce that our new office has opened in Atlanta, GA. We are finding Atlanta to be a very vibrant market, still packed with businesses who are riding out the economic downturns in the market.

It's time for many of those companies to separate themselves from their competition through smart promotion and business development activities. This is the best time to make a run for the leader in your space...

According to something I read in my inbox this morning from Dan Kennedy, a multi-millionaire possessing a long track record of creating new millionaires "The thinning of the herds is not finished. The strongest businesses and entrepreneurs will thrive and PROSPER while the weakest will struggle to survive or perish."

The Atlanta office is open to help you thrive...

Cheers

"THE NEW CONSORTIUM KICKS OFF FINAL FRIDAY SUMMER EVENTS BEGINNING WITH MEMORIAL FRIDAY AT THE REPUBLIC IN DURHAM, NC”

“Celebrity DJ Jazzy B Does it Again”

June 4, 2010

NEWS FACTS

The heads of The New Consortium converged on The Republic Lounge in Durham NC to usher in the summer music season with acclaimed celebrity DJ Jazzy B for Memorial Day Weekend. This event also marks the start of yet another TNC specialty event - Final Friday at The Republic which kick off in July 2010.

The New Consortium principals from Raleigh, Atlanta, Dallas and Minneapolis traveled in to support and participate in the premier event for the start of summer. Missing from the event was the most recent addition to the company from New Jersey, Gena Toler Carter. Gena joined TNC to handle special events for TNC in and around the NY/NJ area.

Despite the monsoon-like thunderstorm that fell that night, the rain failed to upstage another stellar performance from Charlotte’s top-ranked DJ and New Jersey favorite DJ Jazzy B.

The Memorial Friday event is just the beginning for the New Consortium. This dynamic young company has been growing and gaining momentum by leaps and bounds since its inception late 2009. With several upcoming events in the works by the event side of the company, and an aggressive search to add quality talent to the record label’s talented roster; the New Consortium is poised to quickly move to the forefront of the entertainment industry.

"Discover How the Fibonacci Principle Expands your Sales"

A mathematician I am not; but for some odd reason the Fibonacci sequence came to mind this morning when considering the power of partnerships. Originally applied to the idea of how rabbits multiply so quickly, this recursive sequence is calculated by adding the sum of the former to the next number.

Or more simply :: 0 + 1 = 1; 1 + 1 = 2; 1 + 2 = 3; 2 + 3 = 5 and so on to infinity.

This sequence illustrates the power of numbers. We know through our work that when two businesses align around an idea and a well-designed project, product or service; it becomes much more likely that there will be a significant increase in bottom line sales for everyone involved.

There is always some level of risk involved with partnering because you can severely jeopardize your brand by aligning with a company that doesn't deliver the way you and your customers need them to. All businesses that are thinking of applying this growth model should conduct some level of due diligence to ensure that they can identify the correct partners, plan and implement a project, and correct the program if it should go off track.

If your small businesses is focused on doing one thing well and you have achieved a certain level of success you may want to consider the next-stage growth of your business using this method.

"creative living :: creative brands"

We are all creative. Some may even claim the title of artist, but lately I’ve been thinking that it’s not the title that really matters — the important thing is the lifestyle you aspire to. Here then is my list of characteristics I’ve noted about people who live with creative intention and build creative brands. I’d love to know if you find yourself anywhere in the description that follows.

From what I can see…

Creative people live in spaces that help them cultivate their ideas and develop new projects. We may find inspiration in a fabric, a photo, or a childhood memory. We use these ideas as a starting point to develop our homes and work spaces to our liking. We use materials in unique and innovative ways. Our home work spaces contain lots of inspiration. We are collectors of ideas and materials. Because we are always creative, our homes serve multiple functions. Our homes are a conglomeration of ideas — a test bed of sorts.

To feed our creative efforts, we shop. We shop for things both old and new. We reuse. We search the past for familiar ideas and make them trendy and stylish again. We may haunt the aisles of large retailers, but we often have a cadre of smaller companies we frequent whenever we need specialized products or services. We love places like Etsy.com, Creativity Portal, Illustration Friday, and a myriad of fun, quirky, and captivating websites and blogs that provide suggestions on new products and services.

We are introspective. We find inspiration from details others may overlook. We play with materials, words, and ideas; we push the envelope. We find joy in creating the simple and the complex. We like to try our hand at multiple things, often with the skill and insight to combine two or three seemingly disconnected things into one cohesive design. We appreciate the imagination and the inventiveness of others. We marvel at our own vision. We are insightful. We are out-of-the-box thinkers and are often called visionaries.

We love to see the impact of our work on others; because much of what we do comes from a place deep within ourselves. We make statements. In our work we capture the beauty and tragedy in life — and all the emotions in between. Sometimes we make things to trade or give; and other times we make things to sell.

We are connected. The internet gives us a space to set up camp and declare who we are. Sometimes we are part of the support system supplying materials and resources for other creative people to use. Other times we are the front line; showing our work and sharing ideas. We join mailing lists, read blogs and create online communities. We move offline and connect in person through clubs, correspondence, conferences, classes and co-ops.

Creative people share. We provide hope, inspiration and innovative techniques. We know the importance of artful living; of passing down our creative knowledge to our children, friends, parents, siblings, partners, and visitors. We keep track of our techniques, and of our progress and setbacks.

We know how wonderful it feels to see a project from its concept stage through material selection, organization of thoughts, and completion. It is like therapy for some. For others it is our passion.

Creativity is what we live. It is our legacy.

"Discover Creative Ways to Market your Work"

I know we may have been taught that the best way to license and market your work was to build a portfolio of work with your particular "style" and then sign with an agent willing to rep your work at a licensing event or through established connections. Or the really traditional path of building a body of work to sell through galleries.

But happily for creative nonconformists like me - these are not the only paths to success.

As I've mentioned before your skills as a creative individual are in high demand by just about every business sector I can imagine. I tend to focus on home design, creativity and garden design just because it is my passion - but there are other many other markets that are knocking on our doors looking for artists and creative people like you.

What kinds of services do these companies need? Here are a few:

• writers
• spokespeople
• designers
• product reviewers
• counselors
• marketers
• bloggers
• illustrators
• product designers
• teachers/trainers

And where might your work be seen?

• TV
• Internet
• Radio
• Monthly columns
• Print magazines (worldwide)
• Blogs
• New products
• Classrooms
• Trade shows
• Office buildings
• Homes
• Gardens

The exciting part is that the sky is the limit here. We don't limit you to just providing artwork - there is a lot more to you than that! So, we are inviting you to think outside the box about how you have always marketed yourself. We want to have some fun; use materials in creative ways, brainstorm new ideas, and promote your creativity.
