At Forte we realize that power is in your brand. This article along with that thought sparked a question for our White Boards (which are almost finished, by the way!) – Is it the design, the functionality, or a combination of both that makes Apple the dominate brand in technology today?
Sooner than later we’re changing the name of our blog to: The White Board. The idea comes from our use of white Idea Paint to write notes, doodles, (whether brilliant or not) at will when ideas comes to mind. We’re making a concentrated effort to use these ideas for blog post topics. We think the concept will allow our team to run wild with new earth shattering ideas, and in the process start some great conversations. So pardon the progress as we prepare to paint and start thinking.
