Welcome to Marketplicity’s New Site!

What does Marketplicity mean? I am asked this all the time. Don’t be shy: you can ask too.

I first arrived at the name Marketplicity when I was taking design classes in the evening and painting during the day to make ends meet. If you have painted before, you know that there is a lot of time to think while working. At the time, I was freelancing under the moniker of Marathon Inc (I have always been fascinated with marathons…).

The Cleveland public (or for that matter, most any other city in the US) at large doesn’t know much about their local opera company. My idea to build awareness for Cleveland Opera was to utilize the young singers in town in performing different “publicity stunts” downtown.My favorite “stunt” was to have the singers perform the duties of an elevator operator for the major high-rises downtown. The singers would dress in full costume and sing selections from the upcoming production. If that wouldn’t get people talking, I don’t know what would! I think they should still do it.
