To: Martha Sherman

From: Bruce Mitchum
Subject: New Branding Concept for NatureNutz

Hello Martha:

I have finally got around to having the time to come up with some new
branding ideas for NatureNutz. Being a non-profit organization, I think it
is (1. nice / essencial / important / great) for us to appeal to the public’s
sense of caring about the environment, and the planet in general. I’ve come
up with some possible ideas for graphic images that we can (2. have / use
/ promote / put) to symbolize our organization. Please have a look at my
proposals, and then maybe you can tell me which of the three you prefer.
First, if we go with an animal idea, I think we will get the strongest (3. best
/ emotional / most / positively) reaction from the public. As you know,
people in general are quite fond of animals, so we might get a lot of
support by using this (4. animals / symbol / technology / imagination).
The second (5. ideal / propose / thinking / possibility) is to use a flower,
which represents the beauty and fragility of nature.
I’m not sure if people will be drawn to this concept; it might be a (6. little /
kind of / something / problem) too soft or gentle of an approach. Finally,
we could go with some natural landscape.
I think that it represents, on a very basic level, the (7. plant / mountain /
local / place) that humans inhabit, so for this reason, it might be our best
choice. However, I’ll let you give me your input on my (8. graphs /
proposals / mailing / wording).
Regards,
Bruce
