My First Brand – How to Build a Ready and Credible Business in 3 Hours

During this three-hour workshop, participants collaboratively create a complete brand for a sample company. The group works through each brand element together, developing practical and coherent solutions for all key areas. The workshop proceeds in a structured manner, with all elements created directly on a website platform, progressing step by step toward a publish-ready company website.

The company website created during the workshop will remain available for review on a password-protected site for training purposes.
