To get the most out of a brand workshop, it always helps to ask yourself why you’re doing it in the first place.

Are you struggling to decipher the difference between brand and business? Are you seeking out a new audience that you have no idea how to talk to?

‍

Before hosting a brand workshop, we ask our clients 10 questions about their brand. It allows you to take a step back, and allows us to get a panoramic view of your current positioning, challenges, opportunities, and depiction of success – before you’ve even entered the building.

‍

Whether you’re looking to rebrand, or looking to turn a business idea into a brand, we’re sharing our 10 Key Questions worksheet to help get you started.
