As creatives our ideas have the power to change the world.
But how do you shift from making work that makes a fleeting impression – to projects that have a lasting impact on organizations and cultures?
How To Design Brands That Last
Join Ben Hulse and Greg Durrell at Creative Pulse on Thursday, Jul 27th.
Designing brands for complex and growing organizations is difficult — but it also offers remarkable opportunities.
On July 27th, Hulse & Durrell will talk about creating brand systems for some of the most strangely complex sports brands in the world. This includes century-old organizations like the Canadian Olympic Committee and several National Sport Organizations.
Ben and Greg will share their outlook on design as they will walk through a complicated rebranding process from top to bottom. They’ll discuss why they never start the design process by designing — and why objectives are painfully important.
Designers, entrepreneurs, marketers and sports-fans can attend this event to get insight into:
- How to turn organizational complexity into brand value
- How to communicate the value of brand design through concrete experiences
- How to get diverse stakeholders on the same page
Join us at /Archive Digital (behind Steel Toad Brewery) for tasty beverages and pizza—and discover how to create work that makes a lasting impact.
