Creating Healthy Brands: designRoom Creative

designRoom Creative (dRC) began more than twenty years ago. Kelly Farrell, designer and founder, left the big agency world with a mission — deliver strategic, impeccable design with responsive, personal client service. Since then she’s moved dRC into the national market while developing a specialty in creating healthy brands, especially healthcare related brands including Signature Health and the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers. In the podcast, we talk about getting the C-Suite and Board behind a new brand process, even when the brand is over 100 years old! Listen to the podcast and let me know what you think
