Is Your Business an Artist?

  • Do your customers feel inspired by you?
  • Does your company utilizes creative processes?
  • Do your clients want to be able to do what you do?
  • Do your customers value uniqueness and creativity?
  • Are your products and services creative and artistic in nature?

Strengths

BE Creative!

The Artist Brand makes people feel inspired and unique. They envision. They create. They are always improving their talents. Everything they do is creative! They have panache ... they have flair!

Weaknesses

Don’t Be a Drama Queen!

The Artist brand’s bad habits could be drama, needing their own way, playing the “I’m an artist” card. Letting perfectionism cloud the original vision. Artists need to be careful to not let their creativity trump pragmatism and common sense.

Opportunities

Be the Vision!

The Artist brand has a great opportunity to make their clients’ dreams and visions a reality through creative, talented, and unique ways.  Your clients were feeling like they were just rehashing old ground and were stuck in a rut ... until they met YOU!

Threats

WARNING!

Don’t Be Ordinary!  — “Meh” visions. Ordinary projects. Lost inspiration and artistic blocks.  You may not like them but, sometimes, the details really do matter.
