• In this 4.5-hour intensive workshop you will get hands-on experience learning the second and third level of BrandJitsu to shape your story and learn how to share it in a way that is meaningful to you and your customers. Building on the first workshop ‘Brand Core’, this session continues the process and connects the DNA of what you do and why you do it directly to who you do it for and why they care. The result is a clear and compelling story that can’t be ignored.

• Attendees should review the Brandjitsu Part 1: Brand Core curriculum and attend the Brandjitsu Primer on February 11th before attending for maximum benefit. All course materials, including the previous video of the ‘Brand Core’ session, will be made available to all who register.

• Open to all current AUArts students for FREE, thanks to AUArts SA Show+Sale and community partner RBC.
