Branding for Creatives: An Art & Victory Panel Discussion

In this Art & Victory panel discussion on branding yourself, seasoned professionals Vincent Lee and Jennifer Bergen share their insights, strategies, and experiences in building a personal brand that stands out. Whether you’re a visual artist, musician, writer, or any other kind of creative, you’ll learn how to effectively communicate your unique vision, engage your audience, and navigate the business side of the creative industry.

THE PANELISTS:

Vincent Lee isn’t your typical brand guru. Sure, he’s an author with a keen eye for storytelling, but he’s also a perpetual student, constantly fascinated by the ever-evolving world of branding. His passion lies in empowering small and mighty businesses, and non-profits. He believes that with the right tools (many of them free!), anyone can craft a powerful brand story that cuts through the noise and ignites excitement. So, if you’re ready to ditch the brand blahs and unleash your inner champion, Vincent’s your guide on the journey to brand elevation.

Jennifer Bergen is a mixed-media abstract artist based in Norman, Oklahoma. Jenny’s love for abstract art was quite literally born from chaos. Like many other people, COVID changed Jenny’s life forever. While looking for a creative outlet to survive lockdown, Jenny found her spark in a kids’ paint set and the Google search bar. Over the next three years, Jenny’s art evolved into the creations you see today. Jenny believes her art speaks to the incredible value of vulnerability and authenticity in everyday interactions, and considers herself incredibly blessed to have found this craft.
