Description

As a jack of all trades, you’ll often find yourself learning as you go, building the car while you’re already driving it. In this session, we’ll explore a few key areas of challenge where guidance from fellow communicators has proven helpful—like getting orange right in the digital space and navigating the myriad choices of a print mailer. So get ready to learn from our experiences and mistakes and get a jump start on some tricky aspects of creating deliverables from start to finish.
