HMO Training Heritage Leaders



Autumn 2017
Executive Leadership Development in Heritage Management Workshop Series 
BRAND NEW THINKING: BRANDING HERITAGE ASSETS


13-15 October, 2017
Location: Athens


What role does brand play in the management of heritage?
The concept of 'heritage' is a slippery thing, knotted together with questions of power, identity and control. The idea of 'brand’ similarly provokes vociferous debate, either responsible for a reductionist Disneyfication of culture or an essential and powerful tool in the 21st century. What happens when these worlds collide?

A 3 day journey to explore the relationship between brand and heritage
If you’re curious, skeptical or converted, come and join us on a 3 day journey that explores these critical questions. Through theoretical presentations, field research and practical exercises, we will work together to interrogate the relationship between brand and heritage. The experience will give you the tools to deconstruct and analyze a brand, build brand direction and strategy and understand how to effectively use brand in heritage management.

The program will be delivered by HMO’s ambassador, the UK company THE SEEKING STATE, a creative consultancy seeking to help clients redefine how we engage with culture.
The workshop’s instructor, Frances Croxford of The Seeking State, has a wide experience with branding of leading cultural organizations such as Tate modern, the British Museum, the Royal Academy of Arts, the V&A museum, the State museum of Copenhagen and others.
