Additional Designer Opportunity from Keeping Control of Your Designs

The professionals behind “Keeping Control of Your Designs:  An Intellectual Property and Branding Workshop for the Seattle Fashion Industry” are happy to announce an exposure opportunity through The Incubator Project: Fashion, in conjunction with MyEdmondsNews.com.  While it offers some exposure, this goes beyond a PR/publicity idea.  It's designed to get into the weeds of intellectual property and branding, discover a suburban marketplace, and share the experience with others.

MyEdmondsNews.com is a hyper-local online publication that is at the heart of the Edmonds, WA community.  It reaches 70,000 unique visitors a month and has content sharing relationships with theSeattle Times and the Journal Magazine.  The Incubator Project (tm) exists to reach beyond a single seminar and share lessons in branding and intellectual property to artists, entrepreneurs and inventors through storytelling and other opportunities. 

MyEdmondsNews.com and The Incubator Project: Fashion, will:

• document the branding and intellectual property lessons and decisions through video and print
• feature the designer on MyEdmondsNews.com
• shadow the journey from Spring to holiday shopping season with regular updates on the MyEdmondsNews.com special feature
• offer limited consultation beyond the initial seminar, and
• introduce products to retailer(s) in Edmonds, WA
• culminate with a holiday event in Edmonds, WA
