Kevin Kubota was named one of the Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the world by American Photo and has grown several successful businesses—now he wants to share a few things with you. No ego, no baloney, just the most important lessons learned about: Branding, marketing, creativity, sales, presentations, workflow, growing pains, time management, work/life balance, social networking and finding the perfect Bloody Mary in a strange city. You'll reluctantly leave this seminar with a hit list of life and business changing tips.

March 9
VIP Program - "No Holds Barred Branding and Identity Workshop"
Here's your chance to find out what's really working for you...or not. Kevin & Clare Kubota have built several successful brands through the years - including the household name brand of Kubota Actions. In this workshop, Kevin will share that industry myths that don't work, and the essential things you must do that WILL work. You'll receive a complete list of things you can do to bring your name brand to the forefront of your client's mind. As a special part of the session, attendees are invited to submit copies of their current identity pieces and a selection of them will be chosen to be analyzed (in a positive way!) LIVE during the session by the Kubotas. A limited number of photographers will be selected, so get your registration and marketing materials in early! You could be one of the lucky ones to have a valuable, individual consultation! Suggestions for improvement and ideas to maximize your marketing materials will be offered during the session. Registrants who are interested in the analysis should submit copies of all marketing/branding materials 3 weeks prior to the session. Details will be given when you register. Note that you are not required to submit marketing materials to attend. For those who are not selected for the live consult, you will still gain valuable insight from the ideas and suggestions given to others which you can apply to your own marketing and branding materials.
