Brand Day is a 1-day collaborative workshop for small businesses.

Developed and hosted by the founders of Vision & Story, this intensive group workshop is designed to help small businesses roll up their sleeves and get to work constructing their brand foundation: the essential building blocks for creating effective marketing, sales, design and more.

Over the course of a single day, participants will:

– Discover the meaning of brand, the importance of a strong brand foundation as well as the interconnectedness of the foundational cornerstones – how together they shape your brand’s unique positioning in the marketplace
– Start building your brand foundation via exercises engineered to shape your foundational cornerstones – Who are you? What do you sound like? How are you different? Why should anyone care? We’ll bring your company, customers and competition into focus.
– Walk away with a blueprint for taking action – applying your brand foundation via design, marketing, sales and more.

Brand Day is an all-inclusive workshop experience. Breakfast, lunch and beverages are included. Limited to 10 businesses.
