Can not survive on games alone

Well, I guess I’m not gonna be writing about games alone now…but I wont be changing the name of the blog or getting a new one…to much work.

I through my lot in with a start up media company. A start up you say? Yeah but I know these guys. It was started by a couple of my oldest friends. Todd and Marty.

The company is called East Avenue Marketing. As of now there is no web page. No business cards. Nothing.

But there are clients. More than a few. That’s a testament to Marty and his salesmanship skills.

Todd and I will be putting up an interim website in the very near future and last week I did the logo…eh, it’s an ok logo. Im not really a graphics artist but I dabble.

Anyway, my role is becoming one of direction and management. See, EAM is going to offer the entire package. Advertising, production, marketing, tv ads, sales digital ads (interweb) and artistic design i.e. logos, letterheads, web design etc etc. That’s where I come in.

What I’m doing is gathering together a group of individuals with talent. 2d artists, 3d artists and web programmers. When we, EAM, acquires a contract, and if Marty sold to them the idea that they need a new logo, Ill contact one of my people in the talent pool of freelance artists and ask them if they want the contract for X$/hr. If they say yes I will give them the information they need to know. I.e. what the client wants, the artistic style, their vision of the logo etc. The freelancer has X amount of time to get X# composites ready to show the client. From there the client will pick one and ask for modifications. The clients wishes go back to the freelancer and it goes back and forth a number of times till the client is satisfied….then they pay up and I pay the freelancer.
Seems easy enough, eh? We’ll see….
