Next Monday sees the first proper event organised by the NI Design Alliance. If you're in NI and haven't signed up yet, you really should. It's a double-bill with Pete Kerr from local design company Atto and Ralph Ardill from The Brand Experience Consultancy.
Atto do beautiful stuff. I think Pete will be presenting a new, improved version of a talk he did at Refresh Belfast last year. I wasn't there but have heard it was great. Actually, to be honest, I don't know what Pete will be talking about. But I'm pretty sure it'll be good. Ralph will be talking about work he did with the Manchester brewery JW Lees. Who were nearing closure before he helped turn things around; saving their bacon (fries) and, crucially, their livelihoods. I've heard it makes a great case study; think it could be a really good presentation for anyone involved with a brand in any way: creative, manager or owner.
I'm really looking forward to the whole thing. You can reserve your free place by emailing Sara at the NI Design Alliance. And while it's in your head, nip on over to the NI Design Alliance site and add your email address to their database so you don't miss out on futurestuffs.
(That's Pete…That's Ralph).
Yep, looking forward to it. Should be a great night.
Now to start spreading free beer rumours!

Yeh, I was a bit worried that that might happen.
