Marketing Your Skillz (aka Self Promotion for the Shy Creative Type)
Presented by Daniel Schutzsmith
Tuesday, Nov. 2
10:00am – 4:00pm
|
| |
You can make the most amazing designs in the world but if no one knows what you did, then you won't get recognition for it. It is a fact that marketing is just as important to the success of a creative business as the work that is produced. Find out how some of the most well known interactive shops have become as well known as they are (hint, it's not just about the work!). This session will focus on the various techniques we can all use (from studio to freelancer) to market our work, promote our skills, and attract the kinds of clients we want. We will also discuss the role that awards play in the art of promotion, as well as some ways to make yourself a guru in the eyes of your clients.

Early Bird rate (until Sept 18)
Member: $300 + GST
Non-Member: $350 + GST

ZAG Workshop
A one-day learning event conducted by Marty Neumeier
Thursday, Nov. 5
10:00am - 5:00pm
|
| |
In a time of constrained budgets and lowered expectations, keeping up with the competition is not a winning strategy. To succeed in a crowded marketplace you have to out-position, out-maneuver, and out-design the competition. The new rule? When everybody zigs, zag.
Here’s your chance to deepen your knowledge of brand strategy, learn how to zag, and get a jump on the economic upturn in this idea-packed workshop led by renowned brand coach and author Marty Neumeier.
WHO SHOULD COME
The workshop is designed for all professionals engaged in building brands, including marketing directors, designers, strategists, communications directors, account planners, web designers, product designers, creative directors, PR specialists, copywriters, marketing and design instructors, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and others.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Over the course of the day you’ll drill down into the number-one strategy of high-performance brands—radical differentiation. In today’s cluttered marketplace, it’s not enough to be different. You need perpetual innovation to keep up with the speed of change. During a lively day of content and exercises, learn how to design a radically differentiated brand by working through 17 checkpoints, from discovering the shared passion that drives your brand, to protecting your brand portfolio against the dangers of contagion, confusion, contradiction, and complexity. By the end of the workshop you’ll know how to build and sustain a profitable brand.

Early Bird rate (until Sept 18)
Member: $425 + GST
Non-Member: $475 + GST
Group: $450 + GST
