EVENT DETAILS |
The most innovative organizations on Earth continually transform. They create new domains. They don't see their branding as a thin veneer, applied for sales & marketing like a tactic-but rather as the DNA of their organization. They use the brand as a guiding identity & core truth to define the present while creating the future.
Join us for Brand x Innovation: Who You Are vs. Who You Could Be, a 90-minute, no-BS, deep-dive over breakfast into how brand drives innovation to take down silos & build towards wins. We'll discuss orgs like Dyson, Slack, Planned Parenthood, NOMA, adidas, & Rapha-all of which share a fundamental commitment to brand. By digging into branding & practice, as well as the day-to-day action behind innovation, we'll demonstrate how these elements become critical pillars for a sustainable, authentic, profitable, & ever-evolving business.
We're delighted to have you join us-two dynamic experts in branding, innovation, design, & business anthropology-for a breakfast, light networking, & a quick presentation. Then, we'll all engage in an interactive workshop on ways to design an organization from the core out, in which a culture of persistent curiosity & exploration is woven throughout the fabric of the business (and made palpable in its brand). Armed with our Brand x Innovation techniques, you will leave the event having created a plan for building & growing new products/services authentic to your brand-and most impactfully, not easily replicated.
