Oct 18, 2012 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich | 1 CommentProduct placement is nothing new in literature, film, and television, and when it's done well it can influence the way the public views the product. The world of luxury cars has become one of the more successful types of entertainment branding because after all, the action star has to drive something in the latest blockbuster so why not have it be a Jaguar? Sometimes the branding is done so well that the company is forever linked to whatever artistic venue it's used in (think Aston Martin and James Bond) and sometimes the company didn't have anything to do with the branding at all....

Oct 4, 2012 | Contributor: Mila PantovichAs possibly the fastest selling paperback book in history, E.L. James' "Fifty Shades of Grey" and its two sequels took the literary world by storm, filling everyone's bags with a tale of sexual awakening through the eyes of a very naïve young girl.

Sep 17, 2012 | Contributor: Nicolle Keogh | 1 CommentI don’t know anyone who doesn’t have the dream of combining all of their passions and making a life’s work out of it. Unfortunately, many people are not lucky enough to do so, but such is not the case for luxury fashion photographer Anne Menke. Driven by an insatiable desire to see beautiful things and different cultures, the German-born photographer gets to do both on a frequent— if not daily— basis.

Aug 8, 2012 | Contributor: Mila PantovichEtiquette classes used to be all the rage in the 50s, with kids enduring hours of tea preparation and lessons on the proper way to hold their shoulders at the dinner table.

Aug 22, 2011 | Contributor: Deidre WoollardIs branding, as thoughtleader Wally Olins says, "a profound manifestation of the human condition?" Olins might be overstating the case a bit but he does hit on something fundamental when he says that branding is about belonging and the search for identity. We are what we buy?
