LCF Grad Futures: Who wants it? Know your Audience - Define your Value

Learn how to spot your audience, test your idea’s appeal, and shape a value proposition that connects with real market needs.

About this Event

This session is only for London College of Fashion students. It is aligned to your Graduate Futures start up and freelance journey.

In this session, we’ll dive into the first part of the triple test – desirability. You’ll explore how to understand your target audience and what motivates them, alongside practical ways to research the market and test demand for your idea. We’ll guide you through developing a strong value proposition that clearly communicates the benefits of your creative project or business, ensuring it connects with the people you want to reach.

Through hands-on activities and discussion, you’ll learn how to refine your ideas so they stand out in a competitive market and resonate with real needs and desires.

This workshop will give you the tools to make your ideas not just possible but in demand.
