A brand is far more than aesthetics.

A commitment to brand is a commitment to design-thinking. Companies with this focus tend to perform better than their counterparts.

Marketing and promotional activity can lead to temporary lift in awareness and sales, but when coupled with a strong brand identity, the effects of marketing activities are cumulative and they build a large snowball effect over time.

This highly social and interactive evening will provide unmatched networking and an opportunity to hear from industry experts as they share their extensive experience on branding an organization.

What you will learn by attending:

  • Building a consistent and memorable brand experience
  • Sharing your message through Infographics  
  • Catering your message to your unique audience
