How to Incorporate First Nations Art in Branding

Presented by Small Business BC

Course Description

Storytelling has always held a special place in Indigenous culture. At its most basic level, branding is storytelling. It allows a business owner to communicate exactly what their business is, and why a customer should be interested in it. Join us for this informative webinar and learn the foundations of branding and marketing, with a focus on Indigenous businesses.

From visuals and colours, to logos and design tools, attendees will discover what it takes to create an effective brand that resonates with potential customers, as well as considerations when incorporating Indigenous artwork.
