City Branding: Three Pathways to a New You
Power Lunch Webinar
Companies like Nike, Disney, Apple and McDonald’s became the successful empires they are today because of one key concept: branding. While they all provide very different services, their dominance comes from the consistent use of memorable logos, tag lines, color schemes and other branding elements. You may be asking: what does this have to do with government agencies? Cities communicate with residents every day and the well-being of the community depends on engaging the public effectively. Effective branding can make the difference in catching the attention of your target audience, distinguishing your messages from sources of misinformation, building community trust, and encouraging engagement with important city events and initiatives. Tripepi Smith – a leading marketing, technology and public affairs firm – will share their knowledge of the branding process and their experiences assisting public agencies with branding, from simple brand checkups all the way to full rebrands.
Speakers:
Date: Tuesday, July 19
Time: noon to 1 p.m.
