This story appeared in Thursday’s Bulletin and on the KTVZ newscast, but I can’t find a thing about it online anywhere except behind the Bulletin’s really stupid "e-edition" paywall: "Redmond turns to public for a brand identity." I’ll type in some choice quotes: In an effort to draw businesses and shoppers, the area’s marketing agency has designed a communitywide contest to come up with a branding slogan that will give the downtown district an identity. … Continue reading →

Good deal; they actually have a domain name but no site or other online presence out there—nice to see they’ve set up something. And, their blog gives them a leg-up on the Bulletin, too—they have an RSS feed so their content can be syndicated and read … Continue reading →
