MCC approached us with the opportunity to brand their Workforce Innovation Division, which exists to give people the tools they need in real life to make a difference.
It started with a conversation about standing out. "MJ, how can branding help Bluestone Development? We're just a development company. People only care about our projects."
Response: Really?
Through our Brand Soul process, REBEL sees a Bluestone unique from everyone else! We see people who are passionate about having fun, who value creating cool spaces, and are thinking way into the future by – obsessively looking for the missing obvious!

Breakthrough Brands are real, genuine and authentic; they need to be carefully managed as your most valuable internal and external asset. Maybe Brands need confidence and momentum to become premium brands. Letdown Brands need authenticity and clarity to thrive. Loser Brands are lost.
We experience a letdown when something is over-priced, over-promised or over-promoted – then falls short. Letdown brands are manipulative and aggressive. The result: most people will automatically reject these brands in the future and go out of their way to share their brand-damaging experience.
Many people are cautious when a brand is deeply discounted. Loser brands rely on bribery, like two-for-one specials, time-sensitive offers and generic packaging. When the promise fails, we quickly learn to avoid these brands in the future. The result: loser brands are the first to drop out of the market.
Most companies, organizations, destinations, products, services and personal brands deliver a maybe experience – most of the time. These brands are real, genuine and charismatic, yet they lack the clarity and confidence to focus on one bold promise that people will value. The result: lack of momentum.
When brands commit to a real and genuine bold promise, then create an experience that brings that promise to life – two things happen. First, the brand speaks to and attracts only the people who are going to value it; and secondly, the transformation is from "just another brand" to a premium asset.
