Welcome to the future. Edison is a health and ‘life extension’ company riding the emerging precision medicine wave. Its founders Jay Harrison and Rich Tangney are excited to be on the cusp of a healthcare revolution. There is a famous quote by Thomas Edison on the wall of Edison’s Parnell clinic.

Gary Cross continues his two-part series on branding – this month looking at the logical process, aka creative brief, behind ad campaigns that bring brands to life. Last issue, I talked about how your brand is more than just a logo. It’s what people think of or perceive when they see or hear your brand name.
