Day 2 Consultants + Branches Mission Lab Topics: Brand Strategy + Katy Henriksen | NWA Democrat-Gazette, Trillium Salon Series Topics: Communicating with the Media and Writing a Press Release + Hannah Bailey | Studio Northwood Topics: Mini Brand Audit for Arts Organizations Meet with Hannah Bailey, brand consultant and graphic designer, for a mini audit of your organization's brand. Together, we'll assess what's working, identify opportunities for improvement, and discuss ways to strengthen your messaging, visual identity, and overall presence. You'll leave with actionable recommendations and priorities for your next steps. Need help with a specific branding challenge instead? Bring your questions. We can tailor the conversation to focus on your organization's most pressing brand, marketing, or communications needs. Hannah is the owner of Studio Northwood, where she helps small businesses discover how to talk about themselves with clarity, confidence, and personality. After studying illustration at John Brown University and spending seven years as an art director at a mid-sized PR agency, she started her own business, where she's spent the last six years helping organizations build brands that are as effective as they are beautiful. A Fayetteville native, Hannah loves hearing the story behind a business, asking good questions, and helping people find the words they've been searching for. She believes great design starts with listening, because design isn't just about making things look good, it's about telling your story. + Lydia Fletcher| Arrowmaker Agency Topics: Brand Strategy, Crisis Communication, Content Strategy Lydia…
