Sunday, November 14, 2010
Backstory I have always been interested in helping people in
some way. My way of lending a hand was by
volunteering at different organizations throughout high school and college. After I graduated with a business degree, I knew I could
go anywhere, but I wanted to combine my love of music and my passion for helping others. I became an advocate for VH1 Save The Music and realized that I can build a company similar to that, but in the Wisconsin area.

Company Name:
Madison Music CompanySimple
The name is descriptive. It states where the company
is located and what the focus is on; music
Easy to abbreviate: MMC
Madison Music
CompanySunday, November 14, 2010
Strengths and WeaknessesMadison Music Company has a
clear and narrow focus. The name gives a general idea of what the company is about. It is also catchy when shortened to its abbreviations, MMC. It reminds me of company names like IBM
and BMW. The name is also protectable as outlined on
uspto.gov. According to
godaddy.com, I could register madisonmusiccompany.com or madisonmusiccompany.org for a small, annual fee.
Madison Music Company is a
unique concept, but not a very
unique name like Google or Kodak. It may be too generic which
makes it slightly
dull.

Mission StatementMadison Music Company’s core mission is to restore music education programs in Madison, Wisconsin, ensuring that each
child has access to a complete education that includes the benefit of music instruction. MMC will remain faithful to and focused on
making its mission come to life.
Madison Music Company will dig deeper into the reasons why
public schools do not have music programs and learn more about the benefits a student receives from studying music.
Music education is not only important for its intrinsic value, but students who study music enhance their critical thinking skills and
their ability to work as a team. They are more engaged in school and less likely to drop out, and they do significantly better in all of their academic endeavors.

Tagline
Music is a nutrient. Enrich it.
*This is a very rough sketch. I would have a graphic artist blend the instruments into the soil and turn them
green like a plant. I would also have the graphic artist work on the wording so it matches better.
Sunday, November 14, 2010
Tagline Logistics-The tagline is effective because it relates to how
children learn by enrichment and how they grow
intrinsically.
-The tagline speaks to MMC’s customers by providing a creative, graphical representation.
-The tagline is imperative because it suggests an action.
-The tagline reinforces the brand message and it is short, unique, and positive.
