Fabulous Friday : Poppy Time (members and curious non-members)

Symbology & Iconology

Symbols are an emotive communication device that convey big ideas in small packages.

Take the poppy. The ultimate meme. Created as the symbol of remembrance in 1918 by Moina Belle Michael. Inspired by the poem In Flanders Fields, she bought a bale of red silk and made poppies to commemorate all who died WWI. A story with universal impact, starring an iconic icon.

Book November's #fabulousfriday lunch, explore the power of the poppy and take time out to think about the symbols or icons you could use to tell your brand story.

Who can attend?

The Big Question : Memorable brands become-&-stay memorable for a variety of reasons. They're emotional and nostalgic or intrinsically associated with a symbol or icon. Like the poppy.

What steps could you take to make sure your brand is remembered because it stirs an emotion and evokes a memory or has aligned with a symbol or icon?

Dress code : Be top of the pops with a fleur that's close to the heart. One that's full of meaning and packed with memories. Wear a solitary bloom. Or go to town with a corsage. Wear it with pride and feeling.
