Start Building Your Own Gutsy Brand!

Branding is all about getting, and staying, in the mind of the customer so you’re always an option. Because that will lead you to a better life!

We’re so geeked to be able to help 30 people at our first ever branding workshop! If you’ve read our About page, you know why. Vanessa and I veered away from graphics, photography and illustration because we realized those things, on their own, don’t help entrepreneurs in the long-term. Creating a brand, however, does.

Dave Murray and Vanessa Symington, of Mayniax Branding, are pleased to announce their first ever branding workshop!

What Will You Learn?

You’ll learn about the three most important things for any brand: the “why,” the focus, and the differences. From there, we’ll go into the intricacies of brand creation, such as naming a brand and yes, even logo design. And, of course, a whole lot more!

Why Only 30 People?

Simple: we can’t be effective teachers with more than that. Vanessa and I will be doing some talking, but the vast majority of the time, we’ll be walking amongst the 30 people, answering questions and giving ideas while the people work. This is a workshop, after all. It’s not “Listen to Dave’s lame jokes while Vanessa rolls her eyes” time, though I’m sure some of that will happen.

And, for a little transparency, having only 30 people also gives this Mayniax Branding event exclusivity, which is helpful for any brand.
