Brand Camp University | Personal Branding 2.0 - Hajj Flemings

Brand Insights was birthed out my desire to provide more personalized attention to entrepreneurs, business leaders, and business owners about branding. One of the big questions I get is that people love Brand Camp but want a one-on-one experience so creating Brand Insights is a way to create that small group environment.

I also wanted to do a project in Detroit and I couldn’t think of a better place than in Detroit Eastern Market FD Lofts.

Learn in-depth insights on how to brand yourself and your business in an energetic 8-hour day. The workshop will be led by two branding and marketing minds (Hajj E. Flemings and Matthew Kruchko) in a unique hands on facilitated environment.

This workshop is limited to 15 like-minded entrepreneurs, business leaders and business owners and will take place in the FD Lofts in the Detroit Eastern Market. The workshop is designed to provide personalized attention in developing and re-thinking your personal and business brands and how to integrate their missions seamlessly.

A large portion of the day will be dedicated to addressing specific personal and corporate branding challenges.
The afternoon will be spent in full consulting mode we will review brand problems or ideas in front of the group so everyone can connect and collaborate in the learning process.
The attendance has been limited to provide great opportunities for quality networking and building valuable relationships.
