Emily Cohen: The Reflex Blue Show #198

Emily Cohen returns to the show to discuss her book Brutally Honest (she was last on the show a year ago, before the book shipped, and after an amazing Kickstarter promotion). The book has really taken off, and is now heading into a second-printing – I highly recommend it after reading my copy last month. It really is Emily in book format like she mentions in this episode.

Emily is also on a “Moving Beyond Referrals” speaking tour, and it was great to catch her talk (hosted by the great AIGA Nebraska chapter) at Blatt Beer & Table in Omaha, Nebraska.

We speak about the dirty word that is “specialization”, how and why to specialize, why to limit referrals, and how KISS is playing just across the street from where we recorded next week. Wait, that’s from when we recorded last week. KISS plays in like 3 hours! See you at the show!

Enjoy.

Emily Cohen

AIGA Minnesota’s Design Camp not only brought in the five 5 ‘main stage’ speakers (and a couple dozen Twin City speakers for breakout sessions), but also flew in the brutally honest design consultant that is Emily Cohen from New York (has she really not been on the show since 2011?). We talk about getting the right work, her Evolve conference, and why we need to find a specialty.

The Reflex Blue Show, Season 4, Episode 5: Emily Cohen Interview

Emily Cohen Interview on The Reflex Blue Show graphic design podcast

I remember when Emily Cohen came to Omaha back in August of 2005 to speak to our local AIGA Chapter. The information she shared about pricing and winning pitches was one of the most useful talks I’ve ever been to. Unfortunately, it would take another two months before we started podcasting, so we never had the opportunity to have her on as a guest.

Another thing I’ve learned is that if you want to see great speakers, the HOW Conference seems to have them in bunches. So, when we were asked who we wanted to interview while at the HOWlive events last month, Emily was the first guest on my list. She still does business helping design firms and such as Emily Cohen, but now works with in-house teams at Cohen Miller Consulting.
