Branding and Self Promotion

Whether engaging social media, online selling, or in-person sales (via fairs, performances, or retailing), creating a cohesive aesthetic is the “branding” of the arts. Accurate and crisp documentation is the foundation for circulating work online. These one-on-one sessions will give participants specialized feedback on their online brand, including social media, website, and other sections. Weaver Crawford will offer suggestions to participants on how to improve their brand and its cohesiveness, and offer suggestions on tools they can use as well. Participants are expected to submit branding materials for review one week before their meeting.
