Sounds Like: Press Releaseebb&flow..s aim is a simple one ..Bring the expressive word kicking and screaming back into the 21st century...Our aim compliments findings in qualitative research carried out by the Arts Council, which highlights the need to develop marketing and publishing strategies to help grow and develop the spoken word market as a whole.This dynamic ebb&flow project will deliver the foundation for a new culture, philosophy and approach to the oldest form of expression.Dubbed Verbalizm a new word based on what was and positioned for what will be.. This new form of expression will be cross-cultural expressive and performance based. Positioning Verbalizm along side mainstream popular music genres such as Pop, Rock, Jazz, and R&B.We believe Verbalizm is an evolutionary journey.Evolution is not right or wrong, it just is. Our future cannot be predicted it must be developed.ebb&flow: is a creative label.Our premise is the origination, creation and application of ideas that traverse the whole media landscape whilst challenging every aspect of contemporary culture.This is an ethos that is encapsulated in our brand talisman; a ..corporate charm.. that symbolises who we are and guides all that we do.Based on an ancient symbol, the talisman stands for initiative, dynamism and versatility.As do we!
