AIGA AT PARSONS LECTURE SERIES PRESENTS:

Social media has allowed both companies and individuals to leapfrog traditional media and forge direct relationships with supporters and assemble brand notoriety. But consequently, the landscape has also become oversaturated and ever-changing. How then do you build a brand that stands apart? And ultimately, how do you shift your branding, marketing, and media strategy to leverage online networking platforms to build an authentic and modern brand?

In this session, you will hear from industry experts on how they built their brands for the digital age and you will learn how to develop and design your own brand narrative. Join influencer Patrick Janelle, fashion designers Mike Eckhaus, and Babak Radboy as they discuss strategic and practical social media insights with acclaimed New York Times journalist Matthew Schneier.

This panel is open to all but designed specifically for creatives engaged in social media and brand building.
