Designing demand

The skill needed to market your studio

What is it you are good at? What markets do you excel in?
How do you identify where to get more work, or better work?
The Designing demand workshop uses a tool specially developed by the dbc to help you answer all these questions and help you develop a plan to market your studio.

Designing demand shows studio owners, design managers and account service people how to identify the potential for growth in their existing markets.

This half day workshop will cover all the aspects that a design manager or studio owner needs to market their services.

What they said
I found the Strengths and Weaknesses sheet especially helpful to highlight any problem areas as an Account Manager. Now that I’ve identified the problems, I can start working on them!
