Workshop: Pitching Your Creative Concept for Products (Replay)
Are you an artist who is obsessed with creating characters and/or creative concepts with their own "universe"? Have you wondered how to pitch them to manufacturers? Have you wondered, "WHERE do I START?"
I have licensed my character brand collections for gifts and decor with companies such as Demdaco and Enesco Gift and have had my character brands published as gift books and greeting cards with companies such as Legacy Publishing, RSVP, and Peter Pauper Press.
In this recording of a three-day webinar class, originally presented in association with the former e-course platform, Modern Thrive, I spill my knowledge, experience, tips and tricks on how my character brands Cats@Work and Yoga Pals went from doodles I drew at my former full-time office job desk, into full-fledged, licensed gift and greeting card lines with major manufacturers. Through this class, I want to help you to succeed in doing this, too.

However, I truly believe that quality and value of the content presented makes up for any of the video/audio discrepancies.
