"Quik-Ship"“Recommendations were right on the money ... I see Quik-Ship everywhere!”
Product Naming Project for Car Dealer: Some years ago, an auto dealer client presented me with a problem; They needed a brand name for a premium parts business they'd established to serve other car dealers who couldn't get parts fast enough directly from GM and were falling behind on customer repairs. My client found that by ordering huge quantities of fast moving parts from GM and shipping them to their dealer customers overnight - at a slight price premium - they could help them get their customers’ cars out the door faster. "You’re not selling parts, you’re selling time,” I suggested. And recommended creating a brand that would quickly communicate that story: Modern Quik-Ship. The concept was a huge success. It wasn’t long before the General Motors parts zone manager reported seeing the Quik-Ship logo (designed after a packing crate stencil) “wherever I go.” The powerful new brand with the built-in benefits story helped earn my client millions of incremental dollars over the years and was said to have been "getting stronger" several years after launch.

"Living With An Island"“You captured a lot of the intangibles we've always struggled to get across ..."
Script for Our State Public TV Program:
Sometimes it seems like an impossible dream: find those peaceful, serene spots where we can take a breath and relax. More often, we find an urban landscape imposed on a shifting bit of sand - and have forgotten how it is to live with an island. But some places do remain where man's footprint on nature has been both limited and thoughtful ,,,where one can find nature's treasures largely intact. Bald Head Island forms the very tip of North Carolina, a point of land known as Cape Fear. It's swept by the confused and dangerous currents of Frying Pan Shoals and borders the shipping channel of the Cape Fear River, where ships make their way to and from the state port. The island consists of a wide range of geography and habitat: seaside dunes, salt marshes and old growth maritime forests. Thousands of visitors flock here each year, and some 200 or more call it home year-round. So the island must withstand not only the whims of nature but also contain the plans of man ...

"Jake's Mountain""I loved your story ... so poignant."
Short Story for magazine:
It was one of those nights. The wind was prowling around outside, heralding imminent arrival of a storm, and Jack’s father wasn’t home from work. As the dark crept up their mountain and chased the pale remnants of late December sunlight from their tin roof, Jack strained to hear the beat-up Ford come chugging up the hill, the truck they used for everything from hard work to Sunday best. But tonight, its familiar note would be drowned by the wind. So Jack sat with his back to the sparse rooms of their cabin, looking out the window and down the road as the first heavy raindrops hammered the roof like impatient fingers tapping on a steel drum. Jake guided his old pickup along the familiar - but tricky - dirt road, his mind wandering between the son he knew was waiting and the growing storm that demanded his attention. Its tempo was increasing, and the road had a washboard surface cut by deep, watery ditches that could ... (continued) For additional stories and essays by Brian E. Faulkner, please CLICK HERE.
