A collaborative conversation between a designer, marketer, and lawyer on how to turn ideas into assets.

Every creative idea has value, and protecting that value starts with understanding your intellectual property. But most people are building, sharing, and collaborating without fully knowing what they own or how to protect it.

This collaborative workshop brings together a designer, marketer, and attorney for a practical conversation on building your brand and safeguarding your creative assets. We will cover the different kinds of IP you may have, including your brand name, logo, and internal company creations, as well as the IP you produce for clients or collaborators. You will also learn how to share your ideas and content confidently on social media, in partnerships, and in campaigns without losing ownership or credit. Leave with a stronger understanding of how to grow, protect, and promote your creative work in ways that support lasting success.
