available to you.

In this session, you’ll be finding out about what makes a good logo, the elements that make up your brand’s identity and to make sure you communicate your business values to your customers and stakeholders well. As well as brand design, we’ll also show you how to develop a marketing strategy and grow a following around your brand.
