DEFINING WORDS: Tell a Captivating Brand Story
Rachelle Kuramoto of Watchword Brand discusses the importance of messaging and communication in sustaining a powerful, productive brand in the increasingly multichannel world. She shares thoughts about why crafting a unique story is at the heart of connecting with the right audiences in the right places, at the right time. Rachel Mountis of Taylor Burke Home joins her to discuss branding characteristics that are unique to the design world and to illustrate how internal branding processes solidify the direction of Taylor Burke Home.
During this session, Rachel provides a before-and-after case study based on Taylor Burke Home’s internal brand method. Rachelle then guides you in outlining a plan for understanding your own audience and competitive brand landscape. Consider what makes your brand unique, give structure to your voice and value propositions, and think about the key components to communicating your brand across brick-and-mortar and digital marketplaces.

YOU OUGHTA BE IN PICTURES: How Smart Use of Photography Can Grow Your Business and Make Everybody Like You the Most
Beginning eight years ago by building a portfolio together, both Brian Patrick Flynn of Flynnside Out and Sarah Dorio of Sarah Dorio Photography have learned what it takes to capture an interior, a vignette, and even the process itself.
Quickly learning that the behind-the-scenes images are as compelling as the finished product, Brian discusses how and why he started shooting his installations and the styling process along the way for an additional field of revenue. Sarah explores the art of shooting an interior, both with natural and artificial light, touches on essential gear, and discusses when to shoot on your own versus hiring a professional.
