Few of the traditional identity firms have done a better job of continually reinventing themselves. Siegel & Gale' s own term for identity is "Voice." The "Voice," as defined by Alan Siegel, its master, goes beyond a company's appearance.

Interactive - a different kind of business
Unlike the identity business which had become an almost pure consulting practice with project durations measured in months, the interactive business was hands-on with results expected in days and often, hours.

The clients of the interactive department included some famous names, many for whom S&G had done work in other areas. Among them were:

• American Express,
• Kodak,
• The Weather Channel,
• ScotiaBank, and
• Coca-Cola.

Although my stay in New York was relatively brief, I contributed to the success of these projects and the quality of the department by

• establishing clearly defined processes and procedures,
• improving the work flow and managing capacity,
• creating job descriptions and a formal skill assessment.

I enjoyed working with the young and independent-minded interactive team. Many of its members no longer work at S&G - constant turnover in this business is a given - but we keep in touch with each other using the tools of our trade.
