7 EVENT RECAP: BRAND CHICAGO On Saturday, April 29th 2017, more than 100 of Chicago s most ambitious multicultural entrepreneurs, freelance creatives, and young professionals gathered for a premiere brand education experience. Brand Chicago armed each attendee with the tools, insights, and strategies needed to develop and manage oneself, side hustle, or business. We led with the fundamentals of branding, and turned things up a bit...well, a lot so that each individual walked away with everything they needed need to build, launch, and grow their personal brands and businesses, including new headshots. A carefully crafted lineup of killer keynotes, presentations, and networking opportunities with peers and branding gurus who contributed to building major brands like Nike Chicago, BET, Amika, Target, Unilever, MillerCoors, Corona. and even our beloved, Barack Obama heightened this creatively collaborative experience.
