Brand and Purpose Driven Design

How to design on brand concepts for products and services

Due to the digital revolution, products and innovations tend to commoditise rapidly. More than ever, a strong brand experience plays a vital role in convincing consumers to become loyal to your brand. Not only for commercial companies but also for non profit organisations and even governmenta institutions. The purpose of the company or institute that offers the product plays an increasing role in this. This Master Class is about how to develop brand and purpose driven concepts for products and services.

Curriculum

Innovations should be in-line with the brand, or preferably, strengthen the brand. Ideally, they are tuned with all the other touchpoints of the consumer experience, in order to create a durable bond between the consumer and the brand.

At the heart of every innovation is a concept that connects the concerns of all stakeholders. The physical product, accompanying services, and the retail experience are nowadays inextricably intertwined. An integrated approach is important in order to stay relevant.
