Bare Brand Strat LIVE

Hi, I’m Richie, an independent brand consultant and founder of brand strategy learning program Bare Brand Strat.

I’ve been running Bare Brand Strat as a 4 week online program since 2023. To date, we’ve had 4 cohorts with over 160 people completing the course, joining from all over the world.

In July 2024, I ran Bare Brand Strat as a short workshop session when appearing as a speaker at The Design Conference in Brisbane. 

This kicked off a passion for running in person events again and led to the creation of Bare Brand Strat LIVE - a one day workshop that uses a range of hands-on activities and rapid prototyping exercises to give people a more immersive, interactive learning experience.

As a brand maker, shaper or owner, I really believe that knowing how to pitch, manage and deliver brand strategy makes your work stronger, your value higher and your voice matter more where it counts.

I want to help people cut through the fluff that typically comes with brand strategy, openly sharing my own work, tools and process - warts and all.

I’m excited to be bringing Bare Brand Strat LIVE to New Zealand Aotearoa and look forward to seeing you on the day.

Thanks,
Richie
