November 2021: Brand Positioning Hour
Your brand position goes beyond thinking about your competitors. If you are building a Visionary brand, you are thinking about your position as a cultural worker and changer. In this workshop we played with some ways to view your position differently.
October 2021: Your Brand as Art Form.
We explored ways that your brand can be flexible, alive, evolving, and just as delightful for you to create as it is for your audience to encounter. We discussed collaborative branded content vs. promotional content, and explored new, inspiring ways to show up.
September 2021: Visual Playtime!
We engaged in a slow, exploratory, guided creative process with our cameras and the everyday spaces we inhabit. Refreshing and re-sensitizing our relationship to light, color, shadow, shape, and object, and stumbling into creating unusual photographs.

With special guest Jessica Abel. Jessica is a cartoonist, published author of graphic novels and textbooks on comics, illustration professor, and creator of programs and workshops on getting your creative work DONE.

Creative Confidence and the building of businesses.
June 2021: Brand Bravery Hour.
Play your way through with an hour of conversation and experiments in exercising your risk taking muscle. Be brand brave with me.
July 2021: Your Body of Work.
Let’s pay attention to that beautiful thing at the heart of it all: your evolving, growing body of work.
I’m Amy Walsh - artist, designer, educator and founder of the Bureau of Tactical Imagination. I started these monthly gatherings as a way to informally host conversations, experiments, and experiences for free. Because I am in Rhode Island, USA, and you are likely not, we’re doing this on Zoom - but I hope you’ll still bring finger foods.
What do you get out of it? Fresh ideas. Epiphanies even! New tools, perspectives, and assistance with whatever you are working on in the creative side of your work: branding, marketing, communicating in any way.
What do I get out of it? A place to push my edges, try new ways of teaching and learning myself, and best of all - I get to meet YOU.
I hope you will stop by for one, or two, or all of these. Enjoy!
