Brand Talks are back. The program section for brand strategists and decision makers brings 12 leading branding agencies onstage together with their A-list clients. Expect exclusive insights into their latest projects and campaigns for new visual identities rethinking brands in the digital age on all three TYPO Berlin days.
Concept & Curation
The future of brand communication
Brand Talks explores the elements of successful modern brands: fonts, imagery, user-generated-content and how it all unites to provide an enhanced customer experience. At the core of Brand Talks are 14 consecutive half-hour long presentations on the second day of TYPO at the House of World Cultures. Fast but dense in experience. The final presentation will come this year from Johann Jungwirth, the Chief Digital Officer of Volkswagen on “Human Thinking and Digital Transformation”.
Brought to you by Monotype
Since its premier at TYPO 2017 Brand Talks grew into a 1-day seminar travelling to Stuttgart, Cologne and London. The next Brand Day will be held in Munich, June 16. Facilitator of both formats is Jürgen Siebert, Marketing Director at Monotype.
