Brand Standards: Considerations for In-House Designers

Presented by Alan Chan RGD, Ryan Booth RGD and Donna Graffi-Smith RGD. Moderated by Kathleen Scott RGD.

Your organization’s brand standards are more than just guidelines around logo, colours and fonts. They are the foundational pieces for telling your brand’s story in a consistent and engaging way. This webinar looks at how in-house professionals are working with their company’s brand.

Topics covered include: working through a brand refresh, being creative within the constraints of brand standards, educating staff on branding, managing assets, creating an authentic brand story and working with outside agencies on your brand.
