The Global Microbrand has been working well for John T. Unger.

john t. unger studio: The Power of Blogs

I’ve done three interviews for magazines and websites this week. The Sprint Ambassador Program is sending me a free cell phone with six months of free service. School children write emails from overseas asking about my art for school reports they’re doing. HGTV contacted me a while back about possibly featuring my work on their show, Offbeat America (it doesn’t look like it will happen this time, but it’s still pretty cool to be asked). I’ve also met a lot of incredibly cool people this year that I consider to be good friends despite never having seen them in person.

Almost all of this has come about because of the time I’ve put in writing blogs. The only drawback has been that at times, the response becomes so overwhelming that I don’t take the time to post about it here. I’m working on that.

This comes via Hugh MacLeod and his post John T. Unger and Global Microbrand. Hugh MacLeod has been kindly producing top notch marketing material for my new web design business in New Orleans. When I talk to people about the power of blogging, I show them English Cut, for starters, and Stormhoek. Now I’ll add John T. Unger as a case study.

This is timely since I’m working on creating a blog for a New Orleans artist, Adam Farrington, and his gallery the Farrington Smith Gallery. (A shameless plug, but with no Google Juice, since the site isn’t up yet. We’re going to hurry.)

Can’t wait to share this with Adam, Scott, and Amy over at the gallery. Thanks John and Hugh.
