Introduction & Standards: Branding

The branding unit helps students develop the ability to develop and communicate the vision, mission, and values of a company or organization.

Students will be working for a real organization, developing their vision, mission, and values. This will be determined from the client interview and follow-up conversations. Once the guiding statements have been determined, students will create a comprehensive brand book to clearly communicate the core branding elements. 

Ultimately, students will be developing the ability to create a clear brand that communicates the vision of the organization to their audience.
