Learn Brand Strategy and Sell Bigger Projects
Classes Start Soon!
Go from creative order-taker to indispensable business partner, even if you know nothing about strategy or don’t know where to start.
If you’re a creative professional looking to charge higher fees and win bigger projects while having greater control over your client relationships – then you already know you need to learn about brand strategy.
You’re pretty confident in your ability to do great design or creative work and you keep your clients happy. But sometimes you feel like just an-order taker and not valued as a true business partner.
Maybe you’ve done a bit of brand consulting with your clients, but you lack the confidence to deliver real brand strategy or convince them of the ROI of doing it.
Sound familiar? Well, I’ve got you covered.
By the end of this program, you will…
