Dr. StrangeMatt & Brand Lurve
mattInfamous DWF Pro and reformed curmudgeon, Matt Radlinski wrote a detailed post about branding and how it's transformed his studio and life. One of the best write-ups we've seen, Matt takes a deep dive in the subject and explains in detail what he and Krystal have done to reinvent themselves.

Grab some popcorn, as it's an entertaining read but a lengthy one. In typical Radlinski fashion, you'll be entertained and educated.
