colour branding – tiffany blue increases brand recognition
You see a turquoise box and even before you see the name, you know it’s from Tiffany & Co., the world renowned New York City jewellery company.
What woman wouldn’t go slightly giddy being presented with a blue box from Tiffany, knowing there will be an exquisitely beautiful gift inside? The classic Tiffany Blue Box® symbolises a company steeped in romance, luxury and quality.
So strong is their brand identity linked to this colour, Tiffany Blue is protected as a colour trademark by Tiffany & Co.

personal branding – what statement are you making wearing red & black?

colour symbolism… gold
When HRH Queen Elizabeth II attended the wedding of her grandson, Prince William to Catherine Middleton, she wore striking gold.
Was she expressing how she felt, purely symbolic or just sheer coincidence?
world’s most unusual hotels – icehotel®
In the third of my world’s most unusual hotels series, I was fortunate enough to have the pleasure of staying at this amazing hotel, situated in the tiny village of Jukkasjärvi, 200kms north of the Arctic Circle in Sweden’s Lapland.
Each year with the onset of winter a team of artists, architects, designers and snow builders gather to create the magic that will become the ICEHOTEL. The material used is frozen water, taken from the river Torne which is situated just behind the hotel.
an interview with… buying agent’s tracy kellett
Continuing the PrimeLocation.com Property Blogs Awards series, this month I’m interviewing Tracy Kellett from Buying Agent, winner of the Users’ Favourite Blog award.
Tracy’s writes an ‘unapologetically opinionated blog about her life as a buying agent’. Showing her depth of knowledge through her very funny, witty insider’s view on the property market. It would definitely make for a very entertaining book.
Enjoy an interview with… Tracy Kellett.
