COOMA: Creative’s Guide to Branding
October 25 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
This is a CREATIVE PLUS BUSINESS event in partnership with South East Arts.
Personal and professional branding is an essential marketing tool for creative practitioners, but understanding and creating branding can be a challenge.
Branding can be a tricky concept to comprehend, and many creative freelancers and arts professionals don’t understand how to make it work. In a crowded marketplace full of mixed promotional messages, a compelling personal and professional brand can help a creative practitioner, organisation or arts business stand out from the crowd. Creatives who make the most of their branding can build a loyal community of audience, clients and customers that are engaged and interested, willing to spend money, and happy to spread the word.
With a specific focus on the arts and creative industries, this workshop covers:
+ The definitions of branding, and how it applies to people working in the creative industry.
+ How to understand branding as it applies on a personal and professional level.
+ Your Core Values, how to define them as they make all the difference.
+ Discussion of your personal brand, and how it applies to creative practitioners.
+ An introduction to Colour Theory and why it helps to communicate your brand.
+ Extending from the personal into a Business, Organisational and/or Creative Brand.
+ ‘Brand Pillars’, the practical steps to help participants bring their branding A-Game
‘Creative’s guide to branding’ is a collaborative workshop and participants will be encouraged to ask questions, share experiences and ideas, make connections and foster peer relationships.
