Wednesday, Aug 14, 2024

10A-3P
Lunch provided. 

Think about a moment where you just felt good about yourself. You might have been getting ready to talk about something in which you are expert. Maybe you were wearing a great new outfit that made you feel sharp.  

Let’s extend that feeling to your brand. If you know your brand looks good, and that there’s a value match between your brand and what it offers, it hits different! You’re confident when presenting to customers and prospects. You walk with a little swagger. (Admit it!) When you show people your website, and it looks great and consistent with your presentation materials, your business card, your trade show booth, your sell sheets, and everything else associated with your business. It’s much like wearing that great outfit.  

That’s part of what we do here. We build great brands, and then extend them into all the representations of your brand. Our clients have that confidence and swagger that their brand represents what they offer, and it’s consistent on all platforms.

We want you to have a piece of that, and you don't have to become a client to get it. 

On August 14th,  Audaxis  and  Uplevel Signs and Graphics  are teaming up to present Brand It Like You Mean It where we'll review your brand, talk about what's great about it, and what might give you a little more swagger. 

This exclusive, interactive event will define branding, help you figure out your targets and how to appeal to them, and give you the tools to build or refine your brand effectively.

What's in it for me?

Beyond the opportunity to spend time with a couple great instructors, this interactive workshop will:

  • Help you figure out who you're talking to
  • Explain what is your brand
  • Delineate the parts of your brand
  • Identify or create the missing parts of your brand
  • Explain what makes a good brand
  • Review your current brand and offer direct suggestions for improvement
  • Oh yeah, and lunch is included!
