We are committed to leadership in the disciplines we created: Image Marketing^TM, Percept Marketing^TM and Credibility Marketing^TM. Each year we conduct various research studies and add the data to our famous benchmarks. Much of this information finds its way into our free knowledge base—Persona Knowledge Outreach^TM—or we discuss in our unmoderated chat area (unmoderated because free-association and free-thinking are important to brainstorming)—called Persona Think Tank^TM. 

Persona Think Tank^TM—an unmoderated brainstorming free-for-all chat/forum. The principals of Persona jump in with tips and research to fuel discussions. Freely discuss your company, brand, case or post anonymous questions for help. Because this area is unmoderated it should be viewed as an "idea bank" but not as concrete expert advice since our hundreds of thousands of web visitors can post here freely. Have fun.

Advance MagazineTM—Advance Magazine is an arms-length magazine founded in 1989, going online in January 2007 for the first time with free RSS subscription. The print magazine will no longer be available, but the same savvy reporting, analysis and features will be available to its thousands of subscribers worldwide in English. The publication has correspondents in five countries and focuses exclusively on Image Marketing and Percept Marketing.
