Class - 07/02/15

The Logo - The logo ideas seem to be coming together and we are getting closer to presenting them to the Firm and the Consultants. For class on Tuesday, it is hoped that we will have our chosen logo designs in their final format. After that we can begin laying them out in a power point presentation and have the classes vote on which logo to be used for Clark & Young Consulting.

Polo T-Shirts - The idea of creating a polo t-shirt for those in the firm has been pitched and mock-ups are in the works. We plan to try and get funding to have the majority of the purchase price paid for. We want to find out if people would even be interested in receiving a polo shirt. We may not be able to get the whole price paid for through our budget and some money may have to come from individuals' own pockets. Would people still want to get a shirt if they had to pay for a portion of the price? We need to find that out.

We discussed this idea with the CEO and he liked the concept. It would be great for helping to market the company, and a great way to BRAND yourselves in the future. Proof that you had experience with a Consulting Firm, maybe even a conversation piece.

Name Tags - The idea was looked into and prices discovered; however, in discussing it with the CEO, we came to the consensus that they were not really cost effective, and the need was minimal.

Business Cards - However, the Consultants do need to have some type of identifier, and personalized business-cards are being looked into. They seem to be more cost-effective and more lasting.

A Firm Website - Once the Logo has been decided upon, our next objective will be to get the Website operational. Anyone with concepts or ideas for its contents please feel free to make suggestions. We will be contacting technology to see where it might be possible to have the site posted, maybe Hosted by the University. If not, we need to look into other Hosting possibilities.

Once the website address has been finalized, we can move forward with business cards, as they need to have the web-address within the contact information. This will be a big venture, and hopefully with the help of technology we can get it launched quickly and effectively.

Brochures - They are being budgeted, but we need to take care of the other priority projects first.


As for my class observation, it's interesting to see how well our group functions when given the opportunity to actually spend the time on discussing the needed items. People have been doing well taking assignments, and we are quickly moving forward. Of course, since this is an Intro. to Organizational Commnication, we are learning alot through the experiences we are having while setting up this organization.
