I love building and designing brands that move culture forward. This could be fashion, architecture, technology, or electronics. I love working with visionaries who are crazy enough and care enough to think they can change the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I own a brand building agency, &lt;a href="http://www.321worldwide.com" title="321 Takeoff" target="_blank"&gt;321 Takeoff&lt;/a&gt;, and I write a brand column for the Huffington Post called &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alona-elkayam" title="Alona in the Huffington Post" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Best and Worst Dressed Brands of the Week&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. From time to time I am asked to comment on television about brand like when a baseball team changes their logo or Tropicana changes there identity to the detriment of their audience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Would love to hear from you and would love to connect with you.

This is how it works: Every week I go to events and also interact with products/services/icons. I review how these brands evoked important milestones in our life. Or not. I write about how well or terrible they fit into our lives and our cultural landscape. It’s the nuances that amaze me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’d like to nominate a brand, please email me at discover@321worldwide.com.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Later,&lt;/p&gt;
