Jamie Mustard: The Iconist

Summary: How can you and I make something iconic? How can we find a way to stand out?Whether we're looking at ourselves, our brand, our creativity or our purpose – we are all trying to find ways to distinctively project ourselves in a world full of mass similarity.As a leader in your industry do you sometimes find yourself struggling to stand out? What about as an organization or even as a product or service in the market place? Do you sometimes feel like you might not be one of the special or "anointed" ones?What if you knew how to anoint yourself?Business is not just about being able to stand out, but rather to stand out in a way that has massive impact and longevity. But how can we stand out in a world of ever increasing visual noise? When you look back on the history of music, art, politics and literature, there are certain "Iconic" individuals that are indelibly tattooed on our minds to such a degree that even if we have no real interest in what they are or do, they are unshakable. Think of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5...Now tell me you didn't hear: "Bha-Bha-Pah-Ba, Bha-Bha-Pah-Ba!" The question is, was it Beethoven's genius that created music that hundreds of years later everyone knows? (of course it is) However, what if there's a formula that Beethoven consciously or unconsciously understood? Furthermore, what if it's a formula that translates over to Art, Design, Architecture, Movie Making, and even road signs?If it is a formula, you might be wondering how you can tap into it so that you or your brand becomes the very thing imprinted in the minds of those you wish to influence and impact? Well, you can because our guest on this episode is Jamie Mustard.Jamie Mustard is an expert on perception in the physical world, a strategic multi-media consultant, art, design and product futurist, translator of technologies, creative artist and Iconist.
