OVERVIEW

A brand workshop on the edge of the Pacific. Marty Neumeier, bestselling author of The Brand Gap, The Brand Flip and ZAG will lead a two-day workshop in beautiful Santa Barbara, California. You’ll learn the new principles of brand strategy while applying them to your own brand. You’ll leave with a prototype for transformation—a plan to make your business more competitive, more profitable, and better aligned with its true potential.

What to expect: Over the course of two days, you’ll build a Brand Commitment Matrix with the six elements that guide the most successful brands. Then you’ll prototype the key touchpoints that will drive your brand into the marketplace. During the process you’ll benefit from hearing the viewpoints of others in the group, and from seeing how they approach their own challenges.

Is FLIP!2016 for you? The workshop is intended for designers, brand strategists, marketing managers, entrepreneurs, and CEOs who are ready to transform a brand, or build one from scratch. You’ll work on one specific entity—whether it’s a product, service, or company, or new business concep. (Maximum 18 attendees)
