Interpretation or perception, I’m not really sure which one is correct.  I am currently exploring employment options outside of Rein Media for the first time in six years.  It’s been a great run, but I feel like I have hit a ceiling and the company has run its course.  I’ve met with a couple people and I have updated my resume to include my latest clients, but I’m also torn about how to present myself.

I should clarify, I understand MY Brand, I just don’t know the best approach for delivering it.  I had someone suggest that I might want to take “Owner, Principal” off my resume and replace it with “Creative Director”.  Since a Creative Director position is most likely where I’d land if I made a move, it makes sense.  The reasoning behind it is that certain companies might be standoffish about hiring someone who was an “Owner” because they won’t be able to take direction.  We’ll, let me tell you…I make a pretty good Cheif, but I’ve got a lot of Indian in me too!

I want to make sure that my entire skill set is represented.  I’ve done the business side, creative side, production, you name it.  Ultimately, I want to be a leader and contributer for a company that can utilize my knowledge and skills, yet still push me creatively.

So that’s where I am.  I’m still cranking away with Rein Media, but if you hear of any positions for a super-talented-brand-consultant-creative-art-director, then please let me know!

I finally gave in.  I had been fighting the Twitter bug for quite some time but I eventually gave up and said okay.  I’m pacing myself, taking it very slowly, but I did see the benefit of it during the Web 2.0 conference.  People were following and chiming in during the various sessions.  In fact, some of the speakers were actually taking questions via Twitter.

Now, my wife doesn’t understand the concept of this.  ”Why do people need to know where you are?” she asks.  Of course my answer is, “I dunno?!”.  I really don’t know why we have the need to track where our friends are, perhaps it’s the sense of voyeurism we have from knowing where everyone is and what they’re doing.  The bottom line is I’m treading lightly…

Very interesting site I stumbled upon today, Color Munki.  They have a color calibration device that looks great, but they also have free online color palettes for selecting and choosing colors.  Even if you’re not a designer, you will still have tons of fun messing around with this tool.
