Regional Branding Workshops
The Snohomish County Parks, Recreation and Tourism (SCPRT) Destination Development Team and the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau are excited to invite you to attend the Regional Branding Workshop Series, taking place on October 18, 19, 22 and 23, 2018. The half-day Regional Branding Workshops will build on the successful Future Think Tank Tourism Workshops to explore priorities identified in the Think Tanks and articulate regional brand elements.
Everett-based branding and marketing firm Milltown Creative Company will lead a highly participatory Regional Brand Discovery Process, which will engage a wide cross-section of industry and community partners to identify key unique brand attributes and points of differentiation for each of the four conceptually identified visitor regions.
In advance of the Regional Brand Discovery Process, sustainable tourism consultant firm Future iQ will present results and findings from the Think Tanks to focus the discovery process on regionally identified priorities. Milltown Creative Company will also present Snohomish County’s new visitor-facing tourism brand, Seattle NorthCountry, and focus the discovery process on cultivating regional brands that will support and build on the successful launch of the countywide brand.
For those who were unable to participate in the Think Tanks but would like to be involved in the Regional Branding Workshops, short recap videos of the process and work completed at the Think Tanks are available:
