Think Like a Brand Strategist

Are you a startup founder struggling to find time for branding?

Countless founders don’t have the time to build a brand strategy, so it never happens. Unfortunately, this means many great ventures fail for no good reason.

Simon Coe is on a mission to change that. In this interactive talk, he shares an understanding of branding that is easy to grasp yet powerful enough to help your startup survive and grow. He tackles the problem head-on, shining a light on what founders actually need to know and presenting it in a simple, inspiring way.

This event is brought to you by Talent Garden Rome. If you are a startup founder in our network, we hope you’ll join us.
