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:
