Following the lead of many private companies these days, Wisconsin is having a bit of budget trouble. The state has a shortfall totalling just over $1 billion. Marsha Lindsay, president and CEO of Lindsay, Stone & Briggs took some time to offer legislators a little advice.

As people in the ad industry often do, she suggested the government spend its way out of its money problems by putting a few bucks behind branding the Badger State.

Lindsay told legislators the state should undertake a feasibility study, at a cost she estimated at $200,000, and follow that with a full branding development program, estimated at $2 million.

“Most states have an image whether they’ve strategically developed it or not,” Lindsay said.
