MORE THAN JUST DIGITAL
Many clients defer to digital mediums because they think it’s quick and cheap. They also think that it’s always effective. Research shows that the reality is different – the fact is digital needs print to be effective.
The DBC has developed a program that demonstrates how print and digital can be successfully integrated. The program includes sessions that show how to write a strategy to find new business that integrates print and digital. Greg Branson has honed this content in his 15 years of mentoring and coaching design businesses.
The Selling design for print program was fantastic for my business. The analysis my clients and competitors gave me some great insights that I have been able to leverage into new business pitches and further cement existing client relationships. In one project the research Greg sourced has put me in a stronger position with my client. The mentoring support has also been invaluable.
