The world needs to know about you.
You deserve to have an authentic brand that represents you and your passions well. A brand that does your quality of work justice and attracts those who will most appreciate what you offer.
I’ve been teaching small business owners and artists about branding since 2016 and this course bundles the most valuable and actionable content from my many talks and conference presentations into four jam-packed lessons that you can access on demand.
We'll be covering all the basics as well as pulling back the curtain on some of my most successful client projects to teach you everything you need to know to build your brand in a more intentional way. You'll also learn what to expect when working with a designer, which may save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
Your brand is an ever-evolving piece of your personal and professional identity. In this course, you will learn how to leverage your passion, creative approaches, and ultimately build an unforgettable brand identity that is true to you.
Let’s talk about who this is really for…
You’re just getting started in business and want to get your branding right the first time (spoiler alert: there are things much more important than a logo).
You’ve got an existing brand and are ready to level up. Whether you're planning to DIY, work with a designer for the first time, or simply better communicate with your designer who's already on board.
You’ve got an established brand and are wondering if it’s time for a brand refresh (or even a complete overhaul).
Are You on Brand? will give you the tools, inspiration, and encouragement you need to take control over your brand with confidence. Having an authentic brand will ultimately attract the right people (and more people = more money).
By the end of this self-paced course, you will have:
Learned branding basics from key definitions to important questions to consider when developing or strengthening a brand
Gained valuable insights from Lettering Works’ successful passion projects
Explored five case studies of our favorite client projects with key takeaways you can apply to your own branding
Identified if it's time for a brand refresh (and if it’s time to hire a professional designer)
Learned essential best practices for working with a designer that are sure to save you from unnecessary frustration and miscommunication
What our clients have to say...
“Are You on Brand? was so informative about how to determine your brand and how important it is to have a brand. It really helped me to get some clarity on my own! I didn’t realize how important color, shape, and wording were when trying to come up with a brand or enhance the one you currently have. This course is great for someone starting their business or trying to get noticed in their profession. It’s also great for people who have been in business and are in need of a tweak of their own brand. I highly recommend this course.” - Jeanne, Sr. Mortgage Loan Officer
