ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Steven Addis - Brand strategist
Steven Addis is a father and photography buff who, by day, harnesses the power of branding for social change.

Why you should listen

In the late ‘80s, Steven Addis imagined a creative agency that merged strategy and design, breaking down the walls between strategists, copywriters and designers. That vision evolved into Addis Creson, a brand strategy firm set on creating positive change by working with clients to market meaningful products and to improve their social benefit. The firm is behind the rapid rise of Kashi, the naming of Shutterfly and the launching of the sustainably raised salmon brand, Verlasso.

A photographer, film buff and writer, Addis began documenting the evolution of branding as the online world took shape. An avid traveler and supporter of the arts, he also advises businesses and non-profits through board work for the UC Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive and MapLight.

Nekada davno u Njujorku Stiv Adis je stajao na uglu i držao svoju ćerku staru godinu dana, njegova supruga ih je slikala. Ta slika je inspirisala godišnji ritual oca i ćerke u kome su njih dvoje pozirali za istu fotografiju na istom uglu svake godine. Adis je podelio svojih 15 najdragocenijih fotografija iz koleckije i objasnio zašto ovaj mali ponovljeni ritual toliko mnogo znači.
