Do you ever feel like the mascot for every high school or college team is a Wildcat or a Bulldog? That's because they're two of the top four mascot choices in sports.

For two decades, the Pioneer League team in Missoula, Montana, was called the Osprey before they rebranded as the PaddleHeads—a nickname that describes both moose and people who love being on the river.

On this episode of LOGOSHOW we are talking about the former Helena Brewers and Colorado Springs Sky Sox now....the Rocky Mountain Vibes. Its a Guy Fieri s'more, with fire hair, what more could you possibly want? Its creation the unveiling were weird, but you can't knock another amazing job by the folks at Brandiose.   

This is a really interesting question I've heard a few times since the book came out. I love it because I have some great personal experience in this area. First, the space that I came up in, residential real estate coaching, I have multiple clients who run 7 figure businesses in a market where the total universe of people who can pay $500 a month or more for any kind of service is around 10k. MAYBE 15k in a good year. Very small market. Then there's a great example I give in the MicroFamous book. Brandiose is a branding and design agency that specialized in major league baseball. In the last couple of years, they just started expanding to other minor league sports based on the rock-solid reputation they built. Because they were so focused on their target market, they came up with a brilliant idea, what I would call a Clear & Compelling Idea, that spoke deeply to those minor league sports teams. But that idea doesn't apply to any other business that might want branding and design. But the founders of Brandiose knew who they wanted to work with, targeted them specifically, and as a result, we're able to uncover a Clear & Compelling Idea that spoke deeply to those ideal clients. In a world of agencies that build websites and do design and branding, can you how painful it would be for most agencies owners to limit themselves to one type of client? But it worked. I think we wildly over-estimate how big a market we need to build a 6 or 7 figure business. So let's dig into 3 questions and 3 benefits of going Micro.

Roy and Donavan let Jason and Casey from Brandiose take over. Hear them tell the origins of Brandiose and being the Friar during the 1998 season.!!!

Each season, a handful of teams change their brand. Whether it is a brand refresh or complete re-brand, Brandiose is usually the company behind it.

For this episode, I’m joined by Jason Klein of Brandiose, the San Diego-based sports marketing and design studio that has become the go-to company for minor league baseball teams. Along with his friend and business partner Casey White, Jason created Brandiose and began this journey when they sold their first logo redesign to the West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx. Seventeen years later, the company is thriving in minor league baseball as well as with work for Major League Baseball, Nike, the NBA, Mattel’s Disney division and more. In the Eastern League, Brandiose has worked with the Richmond Flying Squirrels and Hartford Yard Goats when they moved. They’ve rebranded the Reading Phillies into the Fightins and the Binghamton Mets into the Rumble Ponies. They’ve done extensive work with the Altoona Curve and Harrisburg Senators among others. So sit back and enjoy episode six of the Minor Conversations Podcast with my guest Jason Klein of Brandiose.

Fresh off her departure of a second stint with the Corvallis Knights, former COO Holly Marie Jones shares her insight into the West Coast League baseball franchise's brand, and how she was able to enhance it through merchandise, ticket sales and concessions.

Twitter: @HollyMarieJones

The biggest dog in the fight is sometimes a little yapper. That's what El Paso Chihuahuas' general manager Brad Taylor discusses as he joins the podcast, covering exactly how the MiLB team has created one of the hottest merchandise brands across the country. Taylor talks about perception versus reality with the El Paso, Texas/Juarez, Mexico marketplace, as well as how the El Paso Chihuahuas' mascot is the biggest ambassador of the team in the greater community. Taylor specifically mentions his advocacy against discounted or free tickets, pushing for group sales over even season tickets, as well as how the Bowling Green Hot Rods became a top group sales effort with a small county population.
