# Event Details - **Event Name**: Branding 101: Finding Your Voice and Building a Brand That Sounds Like You - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 25 Feb, 2026 at 04:30 pm – Wed, 25 Feb, 2026 at 06:30 pm - **Event Description**: Presented by Queer Business BC and Harc CreativeAbout this EventBranding is not a logo. It’s not colours. It’s not a clever Instagram bio.Branding is how people understand you, trust you, and decide whether your work is for them.In this Branding 101 workshop, Harc Creative invites queer entrepreneurs to slow down and get clear about the voice behind their business. We’ll explore branding as an act of self-articulation, not self-promotion, and look at how your values, lived experience, and way of speaking all shape how your work lands in the world.This session is especially for folks who feel stuck between sounding “professional” and sounding like themselves, or who know what they do but struggle to put it into words that feel true.We’ll focus less on trends and tactics, and more on clarity, language, and alignment. You’ll leave with a stronger sense of what your brand is really saying, and how to communicate that with confidence without flattening or filtering yourself.Who It’s ForThis workshop is for queer entrepreneurs, creatives, and small business owners who:Are early-stage or evolving their businessFeel unsure how to describe what they do in a way that feels like themWant a brand that reflects their real voice, not a templateAre curious about branding but resistant to corporate or coaching-heavy approachesNo prior branding knowledge required.What To ExpectParticipants will:Understand what branding actually is, and what it isn’tLearn how voice, language, and identity shape brand perceptionIdentify what makes their brand distinct without forcing a nicheExplore how values show up in branding without turning into jargonLeave with clearer language they can use immediately, on their website, socials, or pitchesCost$15 General AdmissionQBBC Members get 100% off!

We work with founders, leaders, and organisations who are tired of sounding like everyone else and want their work to actually sound like them.Co-founded by Parker McLean (he/they) and Jarren MacDougall (he/him), Harc’s work sits at the intersection of brand, voice, and meaning-making. We help people articulate what they actually mean, then build brands that can carry that truth into the world with clarity, confidence, and care.Our approach is relational, values-aware, and deeply practical. We believe branding isn’t about polish or performance, it’s about coherence. When your language lines up with who you are and how you work, everything else gets easier. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/a0e34000-f774-11f0-a7b3-9f39d05c56dc-rimg-w653-h740-dc023477-gmir.jpg Venue Partner: Bentall CentreWe're grateful to partner with Bentall Centre for QBBC's 2026 Educational Programming Series.About Bentall CentreBentall Centre is a 1.5 million-square-foot office and retail campus in Vancouver’s central business district.
