AIGA Portland and Neutron, LLC team up to present the Brand Gap, a one-day seminar that will teach designers and corporate strategists how to bridge the distance between business strategy and design. Until strategy and creativity unite, there is no brand! Learn why brand has become critical to every business, learn the difference between identity and brand, learn why designers are natural differentiators, and learn the three basic models of brand collaboration. That?s not enough? Learn how to listen to markets instead of talking at them, learn why fast and frequent prototyping drives ideas and learn how to imbed design throughout the company. Attendees receive the Brand Gap book, the Brand Gap binder, a CD version of the workshop for company presentations, valuable new contacts, ideas and methods for state of the are process, new perspectives on your career or company, and some very important new tricks for your design bag!

Learn how to bridge the distance between business strategy and design. Join 36 of our peers for a one-day collaborative workshop on creating and cultivating powerful brands.
