Event overview

**SAVE THE DATE**

The 17th annual Brand Finance Global Forum will focus on Understanding the Value of Design.

With an action-packed day-long event at the Royal Automobile Club in London, we will unwrap the issues which affect brands as they aim to leverage their brand design for commercial success. 

Design is one of the primary elements of brand identity. Given that the interpretation of a design depends on an individual’s perceptions of the brand, it is important for brands to make effective use of visual tools to strategically position themselves with stakeholders.

However, design is not solely about aesthetics and brand positioning; it is also key to how a product works and how it can be useful to the customer.

In an evolving marketplace, for a brand to stay consistent, yet at the same time current and competitive, it must remain in touch with the relevance of its design to stakeholders, both in terms of perception and practicality.

The Brand Finance Global Forum 2020 will explore these topics to further understanding of how design can attract customers and impact brand value.
