3. Look
at
me.
I’m
not
from
around
here.
I
left
the
herd
behind
in
search
of
greener
pastures.
There
was
too
much
white
around
me,
all
doing
the
same
thing.
I
couldn’t
see
anything
new
so
I
broke
out.
I’m
independent
now,
anonymous
and
see
things
differently.
I
don’t
like
‘woolly’
talk
nor
‘blah
blah’.
I
prefer
‘bah’.
As
you
know,
I’m
used
to
a
black
and
white
world.
So
I’m
straightforward,
direct
and
honest.
Follow
me
if
you’re
like
me
or
even
if
you
like
me.
Together
we’ll
explore
the
unknown.
Leave
the
herd.
Become
a
little
black
sheep.

Manifestory.

from
principles
to
posts.
by
habit.
by
nature.
by
choice.
DIFFERENT.
We
left
the
herd
behind
us.
We
like
to
explore
and
break
out
of
the
usual.
We
like
new
stuff.
Greener
pastures.
We’re
used
to
that.
We’re
not
British.
We’re
from
somewhere
else.
So
we
have
another
view
of/on
things.
That
makes
us
different.
Naturally.
Our
world
is
black
or
white.
Not
grey.
We
don’t
like
‘woolly’
talk.
We’re
direct
and
honest.
We
choose
to
say
what
we
think.
We
like
to
explore.
This
means
that
we
do
not
only
want
to
be
the
Sirst,
but
we
want
to
know
the
story
behind
something.
Our
approach
is
to
stand
out
from
others.
We
strive
to
be
unique
as
to
which
places
to
review,
what
we
shoot
and
how
we
present
ourselves.
There
is
a
lot
of
blah
blah
around
us.
We
take
a
stance
and
we’ll
be
frank
about
it.
Our
writing
is
direct
and
cuts
through
the
clutter.
Why?
Ok.
So?
11. Brand
Proposition
An
independent
blog
with
a
different
attitude,
that
has
storytelling
at
it’s
core.
We’re
a
movement,
that
keeps
on
moving
so
we
encourage
others
to
follow
us,
But
more
importantly,
engage
with
us.
We
little
black
sheep
are
a
mix
of
travellers,
developers,
journalists,
photographers
and
admen
able
to
deliver
quality
stories,
high-‐end
visuals
and
a
very
‘Sindable’
blog.
Remember,
we
stand
out.
Leave
the
herd.
Join
us.

Insights
§ A
very
cluttered
market;
everyone
has
a
blog.
§ Picture-‐led
blogs
are
in
abundance;
there
is
a
shortage
of
copy-‐led
blogs.
§ Blog
front-‐pages
are
either
dull
or
overcrowded,
few
offer
structure,
let
alone
tell
a
story.
§ Basic
user
needs
are
“I
need
to
Sind
a
place
now”
and
“what’s
out
there?”
§ Few
blogs
actually
engage
with
their
readers
and
let
them
take
part
in
discovering
their
