    Brief

Deliverables include brand strategy and definition, logo design, complete visual identity guidelines, and application standards to ensure consistency across all communications. The branding will support the Centre's official launch, engage key stakeholders and industry partners, and reinforce the North East's leadership in tourism and hospitality skills development and innovation.
