From Deborah Laux and Roses Road: What is branding and what does it have to do with your business's success?Branding is your logo, colors, style/design that brings attention to your company/product. A strong brand look instantly communicates what joy/benefit/pleasure/security your customer could derive from your company/product. Every word that is used to create your company/product message must also be well thought-out, crafted, and tested to reinforce and advance your brand. I recommend a brand review to ensure you are connecting to your customer. Don't hesitate – please call me for a complimentary brand review.

The Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena, California has been a favorite for comedians and stand-up aficionados for years. Now, The Ice House was recently recognized as one the Top Five Comedy Clubs in the country by researcher Dr. Peter McGraw and author, Joel Warner, writers of The Humor Code: A Global Search for What Makes Things Funny. With a star-filled roster of past and present performers, including Jimmy Fallon, George Lopez, Jay Leno, Bill Maher, George Carlin, David Letterman, Steve Martin, Bob Newhart, Lily Tomlin, Marc Maron and Dana Carvey, The Ice House Comedy Club has been singled out as one of the "best rooms" in the highly competitive comedy club industry. McGraw and Warner conducted a study from their own travels around the world exploring the science of what makes things funny. In the process, "We stumbled on an important question: What makes a good comedy club?" The researchers noted, "According to many of the comics we interviewed, a 'good room' is one that's dimly lit, densely packed, with hard chairs, low ceilings, a red curtain, and nothing at all that's blue."

Tickets: 626.577.1894 or www.icehousecomedy.com
