This is the new Brand Central Station - a crossroads of ideas, opinions and opportunities for marketers of all shapes and sizes.

Brand Central Station is managed by Bawden & Lareau Public Relations, a branding and public relations boutique located in the Midwest - but working for clients down main street and around the world. 

The editor of Brand Central Station is Mike Bawden.

This site is divided up into the following sections:

  • blogs - there are a number of blogs published at Brand Central Station.  We’re always looking for new and informative contributions, too.  If you’d like to contribute to one of our existing blogs or if you’d like to have us host a blog for you here, just let us know.
  • services - a number of services are offerred to marketing service companies and in-house agencies through Brand Central Station. All services are provided by pre-qualified third parties who have entered into marketing agreements with Brand Central Station or they are services provided by B&LPR on a “per occassion” price. (If you’re a service provider interested in selling through Brand Central Station or quoting on projects as they become available, please click on the partners tab for more information.)
  • partners - if you represent a company that sells to in-house marketing departments or agencies (e.g. a printing company, production studio, etc.) or if you’re a freelancer, Brand Central Station may offer another channel for you to sell through.  Whether it’s through the BCS Bid Boards (where our customers post projects for bid) or through re-selling agreements, BCS Partners have an opportunity to expand their business without having to make dozens of cold calls and pitches in the process.  The Brand Central Station extranet is our project management center and its where we put partners and agencies together to get the job done.
  • library - we manage to find (or are sent) dozens of white papers, research reports and other documents of interest every week.  We post the most interesting ones here at Brand Central Station.  New documents are added to the library every week.  If you have something you’d like to add to our library, just let us know.
