If you ask someone what
the keys to a successful relationship are, you'll likely hear words like 'trust,' 'understanding,' and 'appreciation.' Those same words can be used to describe what it takes to build and maintain a successful agency/client relationship.

Join us the last Tuesday of this month for some tips and advice from the agency side. (We'll hear from the clients next month.) A panel of agency professionals will cover such topics as: keys
to gaining client confidence, knowing when to pick -
and how to fight - creative battles, the art of butt kissing (just kidding... maybe)
and much more.

What is Good Design?
With Aaron Keller,
Co-Founder of design firm Capsule

12 - 1:30 p.m.
Light lunch with
Presentation

The Bijou Grille
643 Main Street
Buffalo, NY 14203

Design thinkers are taking a
seat in the board room.

While this may look like a good thing, the seat is merely an opportunity to prove the value of design in an organization. We believe design needs to step up to the conversation with more clarity around the simple question "what is good design?"

Aaron Keller, co-founder of design firm Capsule, will present a thoughtful look at this question in balance with a more engaging way to consider it. You will walk away more informed and likely a bit amused.  

Please RSVP by 10/21.
