The Event

Experience how this year’s branding themes are unveiled by the secrets of the Chinese tea ceremony.

Amidst today’s technology race and innovation chase, branding remains an art crafted by time, attention, and value. It stands as a beacon for what was, what is, and what will be the most effective form of differentiation and connection.

We’ve partnered with FutureBrand, Pearlfisher, SomeOne, Mr President, and Spafax to create a branding event inspired by the Chinese tea ceremony, a tradition dedicated to patience, detail, and quality. Enjoy a bespoke menu, decorated lounge, 6 tea tastings, and live music, all while hearing some of London’s creative leaders draw the parallels between multiple tea traditions and the key branding themes of 2017.

As the speakers tell the tale, you will be served with Chinese-inspired canapes – exclusively crafted for this event – and a multitude of fresh teas brewed by our tea sommelier. Each tea is different and requires a certain amount of attention, similar to the brands that we work with.
