THIS WEDNESDAY: Part 3 of Brand & Business Building with Kim Kuhteubl! Wednesday, September 11, @ 12pm via Zoom Link to register: https://lnkd.in/gjwqJH2P Session 3: Harnessing the Power of Your Intellectual Property Whether it’s a book, a licensing collaboration or a digital series, the way a designer conveys their creativity separate from the design services they offer can be a powerful extension of their brand. Those expressions of your emotional and aesthetic signature are your intellectual property, and understanding their value is one of the key differentiators that distinguishes a true leader in design. But how do you package your creative flashes into actual alternate revenue streams? Kim is on hand with strategies to help you identify ideas and the team to turn your IP ideas into reality. In this workshop, attendees will learn: - What intellectual property is and why it’s important for design brands - Unexpected examples of designer IP - What your brand’s ideal IP categories are - The top three things you should consider if you choose to license your work - How to hire the best IP team for your brand - A better understanding of the ethics behind IP Kim K. is is an award-winning Producer, Visibility Ideator and Educator who has helped thousands of creatives to become visible: wholly. In 2011 she founded MEbyDesign, an Idea Boutique and Visibility Incubator that works with founders privately, in groups and through online education with insights she’s collected in more than a decade’s worth of interviews with women about becoming visible. #awad #womenindesign #womeninarchitecture #femalearchitect #womenarchitects #diversityindesign #womenindesignandconstruction #womeninconstruction #diversityinarchitecture #construction #womeninspiringwomen #womensupportingwomen #womenempowerment #womenempoweringwomen
