Today’s Business World:  The Promise of BLOCKS™

As technology has made the human experience easier, it has also created an explosion of content and choice, products and services, all 'diluting' us as individuals. We are competing with a constantly increasing level of noise for the limited attention spans of those we are trying to reach.

We as industries and individuals will continue to compete with all of this content, whether we like it or not.

Icons, or BLOCKS^™, are the reason all messages, ideas, businesses, art, music, design, ads or any communication, even advertising STAND OUT and take hold in the mind. BLOCKS^™are based on primal laws of human perception that capture attention - no matter the form, in any field.

Once you understand them,
you will see BLOCKS™ everywhere and all around you.

Whether you are a painter, advertiser, graphic designer, musician, salesperson, executive or just a person with an idea, BLOCKS™ will make your ideas take precedence over the competing environment and get the attention necessary to succeed.

Jamie Mustard, is a dynamic, expressive storyteller and educator, using the latest research and a fascinating array of examples to not only introduce what Blocks are and how they work, but to provide the tools and inspiration to make them work immediately in your life and inside your organizations.

THE ICONIST: The Art and Science of Standing Out

• Why do we immediately recognize art by Van Gogh and Warhol?
• What does Beethoven share with Rage Against the Machine and Madonna?
• What makes us remember the words of Churchill and King (and Domino’s Pizza, for that matter)?

With the rise of digital media and advertising, a constant barrage of information makes it nearly impossible to be seen and heard.  In The Iconist, branding and design strategist Jamie Mustard shows you how individuals, organizations, and brands can break through the noise.

The secret to standing out lies in creating content that the desired audience will “lock” onto and remember with little effort—simple, bold ideas that can be immediately understood. The Iconist reveals a set of primal laws in human society that explain why some things stand out and endure in the mind, while others are rejected. Blending relevant examples from history and pop culture with cutting-edge psychology, Mustard explores why certain things stick and others fade from memory—and gives you an owner’s manual to make any idea, product, or service stand out and be remembered. Forget relying on luck or trial-and-error: Mastering this process will enable you, no matter your field or endeavor, to confidently craft messages that resonate with your target audience through simple, fool-proof methods.

For businesses, marketers, teachers, advertises, artists—from thought leaders to anyone trying to write a resume—The Iconist shows how to grab and hold attention. Fair warning, though: This book will change the way you view your audience . . . and the entire world around you.

Jamie Mustard

The Art and Science of Making an Idea, Image, or Message to STAND OUT + TAKE HOLD

We recognize the obvious: Each of us is bombarded with information, coming at us from all directions, in all forms. We suffer from both an addiction to and fatigue from our daily “information tsunamis”, as our biological instinct is to instantly reject the overload.

And here is the problem: If you can’t get heard, then nobody cares and the message dies. This has huge implications for companies and organizations.  Jamie Mustard is an expert on getting thru, and making it stick.

He is the world’s leading authority on perception in the physical world.  Steeped in the worlds of technology, product engagement, and the creative arts, Jamie consults with leading companies, CEOs, creative artists, etc., getting their messages, products, brands and ideas to STAND OUT to their desired audiences.

This is the science and art of getting heard and being memorable in iconic fashion.  A graduate of the London School of Economics, Jamie’s work is an explanation of the ‘economics of attention’ based on the primal laws and neuro-scientific research on human perception called BLOCKS™, which explain why anything STANDS OUT and endures in the mind (or fails to).  In his upcoming book, The ICONIST: The Art and Science of Standing Out, he uses case studies in pop culture and comprehensive research to explore how BLOCKS™ solve one of our most crucial problems: Being made invisible.

He helps build focused and immediately effective business practices to help you get heard. Stop wasting so much money, time and valuable resources fighting for meaningful attention in an over-saturated world.

He has spoken, educated and inspired others with his work ubiquitously including, Cisco, Intel, Symantec, Adidas, Pacific Northwest College of Art and TEDx . Jamie’s ICONIST work has spanned some of the world’s leading companies, technologies, artists, designers, creatives, non-profits and the globe.  In his vibrant multimedia speech presentations, he gives audiences the power of capturing attention to those who are feeling stifled by an over-messaged culture. When we can get attention at will, we can motivate and inspire others, adapt faster, get buy-in, improve organizational culture, generate demand, increase productivity and ultimately be more fulfilled as organizations and individuals.

STANDING OUT will make important things happen, which is the key for all leaders!
