How to Create a Tagline (Workshop)

Editor's Notes

  • #5 Talk about Ryerson Futures workshop and how taglines were created – maybe not perfect but they worked.
  • #22 Brainstorm a list of keywords related to your business – verbs, nouns, adjectives. The keywords for a fence company could be fence, boundary, surround, keep in, keep out, bounds, picket, yard, enclose. Limits, border, verge, hem.
  • #29 What is your cause? What is your purpose? 10-minute exercise to codify your purpose. What gets up you up in the morning? What impact do you want the company to make?
