What’s in a name?

I have been consulting for a couple of years now, first under the employ of the State Service Commission, and then since my redundancy, as a freelancer, but it’s only now that I’ve decided to go for it all the way, and launch my own brand. Obviously one of the first challenges was what I would call my business.

Ever since I first started learning how to make web pages back as part of my degree at AUT, I realised that it doesn’t matter how pretty your design is if you have nothing to say, so content really is king. I wanted to reinforce that message with my business brand. In a brainstorming session with my good friend Martha at her lovely shop, she told me that she loves the name of my party-host site You Are So Entertaining. I thought I could bring the two together, and low and behold, So Content was born. Also, because I am a huge grammar nerd, I like how punctuating and pronouncing it differently will illustrate the process that you and I might have working together. I’ll say to you “So, content?” and when we’re finished working together, you’ll be all “So content!” Ahh, fun with bold and italics tags, that’s how I roll. So stick around, and let’s see what comes out of this. Hurray!

    So pleased for you Jo. Really like the “how punctuating and pronouncing it differently will illustrate the process that you and I might have working together”. Good luck and good web.

    Thanks Sarah! I like people who like wordplay too.

    I love the logo design. I don’t think it’s often I see one that feels so welcoming. Plus the word play is gold.
