Most of the last six months, for me, have been made up of Webby Award campaigning (our sister publication Lucire was nominated) and preparing for the 2003 Medinge Group meeting in Sweden. Some of you may recall that last year, Medinge resulted in our writing of the book Beyond Branding, released at the end of October by Kogan Page of London. This year, Medinge announced its 'top brands with a conscience', which you can find both at <http://www.jyanet.com/1110pr0.htm> and <http://www.medinge.org>.
It's important that branding becomes more human and I'm proud that the Medinge Group is leading the charge.
On the same note, do check out Beyond Branding's web site, which includes a blog maintained by John Moore of Ourhouse (http://www.roundourhouse.com) and which I designed. There are more perspectives there and John's always willing to hear additional thoughts.
With all this, it's fitting that we make this issue of CAP a Beyond Branding special. To that end, you can not only read the articles online and download some PDFs, but you can get the entire issue of CAP Print for winter 2003–4 at <http://www.jyanet.com/cap/2003/1121fe0.shtml>. I hope it'll make interesting reading and I wish all our readers happy holidays. – Jack Yan, www.jackyan.com

The Brand Hut
If you would like to join a branding list for professionals, there is an independent list at Yahoo! Groups called the Brand Hut. There's no JY&AC advertising at this list: it's set up strictly for the discussion of the profession and how we may effect positive societal change, just as we try to do at the Chief Brand Officers' Association.
The URL is <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/brandhut> and to join, email brandhut-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
