Craig Eves (Jolly)
Talk: Importance of Branding
“Branding helps you stand out from competitors, encourages engagement with your customers and adds value to your offering. Unfortunately, the value of design is often devalued, but those who act on this insight have a competitive advantage over the rest and with it often brings bottom line benefits.”
