Branding lessons: Turning branding challenges into success stories

Branding is at the heart of every successful business, and even the most carefully crafted strategies offer valuable learning experiences when challenges arise. This seminar brings together industry experts to share insights on both overcoming branding obstacles and celebrating success stories from corporate giants and innovative start-ups.
Throughout the day, we will discuss how to identify and resolve branding problems, examine the phenomena that can damage a brand’s reputation, and uncover the psychology behind successful brand strategies. Attendees will leave with knowledge on how to transform branding hurdles into growth opportunities, inspired by the success stories of the featured brands.
The seminar is hosted by Taru Kallio-Nyholm, Trademark & Design Counsel at Orion Corporation.
The seminar is a part of IPR University Center’s “Aineettomat oikeudet liiketoiminnassa” course offered at Aalto University, but is open to anyone interested in brand licensing and trademarks.
We provide breakfast and lunch for the on-site participants.
