Enriching Your Brand - Workshop & Networking (1)

Do you look at your branding and feel like it belongs to someone else? Are you keen to figure out what your brand says to your audience and how best to get your values across? Join us for an evening of brand-clarity with Marmalade on Toast at the gorgeous new Open House Deli.

The evening is designed to encourage you to utilise all your senses when discovering your brand, not just sight. The workshop will be ran by Simon Harmer and Bee Jacobs. Using scents, sounds and textures they will guide you through a sensory exploration to find your brand essence.

About Bee:

Bee’s early years in Illustration set her up for a life of creative problem-solving: creating a blend of the verbal and visual always produces something twice as powerful. After years writing and concept-creating on marketing and experiential campaigns for the Hilton, Diageo and Mars portfolios, she was keen to get to the source of it all: branding. Once she started creating brand identities, identifying their essences, and building in meaning and richness, there was no turning back. It’s a process that fulfils the aim of any writer - to pursue and express a truth.

After the workshop, there will be a chance to meet and chat to other like-minded women in Winchester, to enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of cake and to relax - ready to continue your branding journey the next day! If last year is anything to go by, this workshop is likely to sell out fast, so be quick, there are limited spaces available.

Tickets are £14.50 and include all materials, tea & coffee and cake.
