Stan made up his own catchphrases for his audience

The following is reposted with permission from The Comic Academy:

When Stan Lee formed Marvel Comics, he certainly knew who his target audience were – adolescent males. Both the content of the early comics and the language that Stan used to communicate with the readership (yes, True Believer!) was designed to resonate with young bucks seeking adventure and wanting to be part of an exciting, popular gang.

Have you defined out your target audience yet? If not, how do you know that your creative output and communication (blog-posts, emails etc.) ‘hit the spot’ for your followers? (more…)

Me talking is great and all, but I want to open this blog up to other creatives out there. I’m looking for contributors to blog about things that affect creators around the world from inspiration to marketing. Social media, writing tips, best pens, favorite paint brush, productivity, etc. I’m looking for all sorts of stuff aimed at helping creators be what they were intended to be: creative.

If you’re interested, email me at brian (at) theunderfold.com with links to some writing samples.
