Brand Yourself: Minnesota Interactive Marketing Association.

Promotional design and conceptual creation.

Event: A student event all about self-promotion. Experts were pulled from various disciplines to cover questions such as “Who is looking at my work? What are best practices in self-marketing? How do I get noticed?”

Concept: Taking a literal spin on "branding" ones self, we focused on tattoos, posters and mannequins.
Students were encouraged to pull tickets (tattoos) from the posters and the mannequins (pictured above). This made the promotion truly "interactive" in more than just a digital sense.

- QR codes could be scanned from the tattoo to bring the user to the event registration page.
- Students wearing the tattoo were entered into a drawing at the end of the event.

Turnout: We were expecting 50 students at most for this event. We ended up having 146!
