Ideas
Below are a collection of ideas that can make businesses more responsive and connected to their community.
Ferris Wheel
Mythological Characters
Mosaic
A community mosaic designed by locals and funded by a large bank. Their logo is not present, but there is a small plaque that gives them credit.
Writing the story, sculpting the character of your own personal mythological character. It must include details from your own life. Then hire local animators to create a film with these characters.
Communities around the states design their own baskets for the ferris wheel. The baskets represent the local traditions, highlight local craftspeople, and hint at stories from the area. Good for an international chain of amusement parks who want an edge and believe that connection to community is good business.
