ID Branding

Save the Fat Man is a little holiday gift from ID Branding (and our collaborators) to the world--or at least to that part of the world that's looking for something a little, er, different. We intentionally left the entire Santa kidnapping scenario unexplained so people could spin their own stories about what just happened. Ho-ho-ho!

ID Branding is a multi-disciplinary agency in Portland, Oregon. Our purpose is to grow rich and enduring brand cultures through the disciplines of brand strategy, brand identity, brand management, and brand experience. We guide our clients to clarity. We help them achieve brand congruency. And we give them the tools to sustain a brand culture that their audiences find meaningful. Sometimes we even make them laugh. www.idbranding.com
