Student Testimonial

Tracy, Spring 2020
 
"In this course I learned how to implement a concept/bring it to life, what branding is, how to reiterate ideas, work with designers, and how to make better presentation slides."
 
"My favorite part of the course was the final presentation, where we got feedback from the client and saw what other teams came up with, so we could validate our ideas and know where to improve."
 
"People who should take this class include anyone who's interested in branding, i.e., the brand image, brand positioning, anyone who's looking to enhance their creativity, anyone who wants to get real-life experience consulting a client/working with a client."
