Branding and Marketing Workshops

Solve problems faster, together.

These one- and two-day branding and marketing workshops are led by members of the Atomicdust team, but we’re just the spark. We’ve created an experience that will challenge your team to think about your marketing and branding challenges in new ways – because that’s the best way to find solutions that work, and separate you from the competition.

Our workshops take place outside our office and yours, far away from the day-to-day routine. It’s a tightly scheduled yet fluid approach that will force you and your team to focus your thinking on specific, sometimes difficult questions.

We talk. We write. We laugh. We put sticky notes on boards throughout the room. And through the process, we help you get to know your strengths and understand where you can go from here.

Take a look at the workshops we offer below and see if your organization could benefit from this rapid, collaborative approach.

Customer Experience Workshop​ (ACDC)

  • 1 Day Workshop

Mapping (and improving) your ideal customer experience

Eight ways to improve your marketing

Businesses are a collection of processes. In the simplest terms, these can be broken down into four main categories: attract, convert, deliver and collect, or ACDC. Based on an approach by respected author Mike Michalowicz, this workshop maps out the systems and bottlenecks of a business and how these impact customer impressions.

We identify new ways to delight your customers before, during and well after the purchase – while learning how you can automate the experience to make it predictable, repeatable and, of course, successful. 

  • Our guided exercises will help you:
  • Identify systems and bottlenecks in your business
  • Create the ideal customer experience
  • Find new ways to automate processes
  • Give your team a shared perspective across departments

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers around our branding and marketing workshops.

Where are the workshops usually held?

We prefer to have the workshops offsite, away from the distractions of your office (and ours). Typically, we’ll try to find a cool, creative space somewhere in your city that might be new to you. If you’re in our hometown of St. Louis, we’ve had quite a few workshops at Hotel Ignacio, Brennan’s Work & Leisure, and The Bhive. If you know of other creative spaces we should check out, let us know.

How many people can attend a workshop?

It depends. We’ve had clients bring as many as 15 from their teams and as few as three. Typically, four to five members of the Atomicdust staff will join the workshop, including one moderator.

Who on my team should attend a workshop?

We like anyone whose work will be impacted by the project to be involved. We like to involve people from seemingly disparate teams. It’s important to hear voices from executive leadership, marketing, product development and sales. We’ll rely on you to pick the best mix, but can certainly help if you need it.

Not everyone in my company is on the same page. Should we still do a workshop?

Yes. We prefer to have people with different opinions and perspectives. For example, if the sales and marketing managers don’t see eye to eye, we’d love to get them in the same room. We find that conflicts and candor are often the source of the best outcomes.

How much does a workshop cost?

It depends on you. We have our standard offerings, but we typically customize the workshop to our clients’ specific goals and needs. Workshops start at $10,000.

Who from Atomicdust will in involved in the workshop? What does the team look like?

On our end, the workshops are usually moderated by Account Director and Partner Jesse McGowan, and include a brand strategist, copywriter, visual designer and web developer. This can vary depending on the problem we’re solving. We like to bring in different perspectives and backgrounds. That helps us think about problems from all sides.
