http://www.oven-uk.com/brandarchetyping/brand.htm Archetypes are univeral values that emerge across world cultures in myth and legend. so instead of spending endless awaydays locked away polishing up brand values that are boring and derivative why not establish the brand on values which have built up over millenia? Y&R and Burnetts have both toyed with this. And to be truthful Jon Howard-Spink has another life as Planning Diretor of Mustoe Merriman. But this is one of the first opportunities you have to buy a brand archetyping workshop on the open market.

Discourse Analysis Gill Ereaut +44 1737 241266 gill@linguisticlandscapes.co.uk

http://www.linguisticlandscapes.co.uk Gill Ereaut is a specialist in discourse analysis. She has more than 20 years experience as a qualitative researcher and has become more interested in the significance of language to marketing and organisational issues. Gill has adapted and refined established academic techniques such as discourse analysis and applied them to market research. Words matter: what things are called and the way they are described is not trivial, but makes a tangible, material difference". Real things are made to happen through language: this is what drives 'spin' and 'political correctness'. Gill's forensic analysis of talk and text - trawled from inside, across and around a market - unpicks intractable problems and baffling situations, and gives a whole new take on how markets and brands can be constructed.
