NEW ORLEANS – Get Online NOLA is partnering with Fund 17 to bring an "Introduction to Branding Workshop" from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 25, on Bayou Road (2533 Columbus St). This event is free and open to the public. Both organizations will be on site to help educate small business owners on the benefits of branding. Serah Ridolfo, the VP of Get Online NOLA, and graphic designer, Lindsey Bock, will lead the workshop.
Fund 17 is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to combat opportunity inequality in the seventeen wards of New Orleans by providing micro-entrepreneurs financial and educational tools for self-empowerment. This workshop will help to educate local business owners and entrepreneurs on branding: what it is, why it’s important and how to brand their business.
Participants will learn that having professional graphics to use on your website, social media, and printed materials can go a long way to standing out against the competition.
The workshop, entitled "Develop a Strong Brand for Your Business Using Creative Graphics", will teach participants about utilizing branding. Get Online NOLA will lead the workshop, beginning with graphic design foundations and best practices, then move into demonstrations using a free online graphic design software. Participants should bring a laptop or smartphone to create designs for real-life applications. The workshop will end in an open discussion, plus one-on-one workshop time with the experts.
RSVP for the workshop on Facebook or Eventbrite.
