“Paying a visit to Dan Taylor’s establishment at 51 Bank Street in Stamford, Connecticut, is an experience on par with any of the finest restaurants in the town — in fact, in the country. The only catch is, Dan’s business is not an eatery; it’s a design studio.” Read the rest of the story at “The Involver”, the blog published by Tim McCleary of The Involvement Practice, a unique consultancy that helps corporations make lasting connections between employees and their brands.
“Dan Taylor, president of Stamford-based Taylor Design, said he doesn’t believe you should ‘take your foot off the gas’ when promoting your company’s products or services–even during a recession.” So begins an article in the Friday, May 16, 2009 edition of the Stamford Advocate and Greenwich Time (view article) which profiled our studio.
On March 26, Dan Taylor delivered a webinar to the Thomson Reuters global marketing team entitled “Marketing 2009: What’s in, What’s Out.” Highlights of the presentation include the importance of corporate thought leadership, social networking, mobile media, and other critical topics.
