BRAND THINKING FOR MAKERS

Your brand identity is what makes you more than a business in the mind of your customer. It forms a bond between what they believe and why you’re the right choice for them. Whether you find it a daunting task or an exciting adventure, going from “big idea” to tangible brand is a process, and Joseph Nother of Designsensory is here to guide you through it. He’ll be sharing of his 20+ years of experience as a design, business, and marketing practitioner, with best practices tailored to makers taking the leap into personal branding and entrepreneurship.

[Makers] should start with their personal point of view—an idea borne of an insight or a deeply held conviction that is beyond simple commerce. That is the seed of what can ultimately become an enterprise that has human significance beyond their product or service.
