SUMMARY:Reset. Restart: Your Branding
DESCRIPTION:Delivered by our Business expert Wendy Breakell of Break into Business\, Wendy will show you how to adopt a fresh approach to your branding.\n\n\nWhether you are looking to start your own brand\, rebrand or review your brand\, this workshop will cover the most important parts of a start- up\, small business brand.

Wendy loves developing brands based on these values and so from this workshop you will feel inspired and empowered to take your brand development forward and with minimum cost but high personal investment of time\, energy and creative thought.
