Free Branding Workshop
FREE Branding workshop! December 8 – 12!
Come pick your brand colors and fonts and create a brand style guide in 5 days!
You deserve a beautifully branded business.
Jewels Branch works with women like you who want a beautiful visual brand that conveys your style and personality and wows your customers.
The only problem is you don’t know what steps you need to take to translate the brand vision in your head into reality.
So you spend a lot of time asking yourself and everyone else questions like …
“What’s the best color for my brand?”
“What font should I use for my logo?”
“Do you like this logo or that logo?”
And you get a lot of mixed advice and suggestions and ended up frustrated and never make the decisions you need to make….
It’s time to stop, deliberate, and decide!
During this 5-day workshop, we’ll walk through the process of choosing colors, fonts, and design elements for your brand. You’ll walk away with a brand style guide so you can keep your branding consistent going forward.
Plus, we’re not above a little bribery to get you to follow through (there will be prizes!).
Come and build your beautiful brand with Jewels Branch!
