Building Innovative Brands is a hands-on two-week dive into how leading brands may leverage a Design Thinking approach to become ever more participatory, experiential and experimental. Together, we will explore how leading organizations stoke conversations, co-create experiences, spark stories and build engaging relationships with consumers.

Inspired by provocative real-world examples and industry guests, diverse student teams will employ human-centered design methods to conceive of and visualize their own creative proposals for how the Stanford Athletic Department could engage in innovative, brand-enhancing new ways. Student teams will ultimately pitch their experience design concepts to the Athletic Department leadership for feedback, consideration and potential real-world implementation by Stanford.
