Chicago, IL (1888PressRelease) January 25, 2011 - As the first month of the new decade rapidly comes to an end, a few of Chicago's business leaders are taking advantage of the New Year's energy, by building an initiative in the form of a one-day professional seminar, B R A N D I N G IN 21. Scheduled to take place at The Little Black Pearl Art and Design Center located on 1060 East 47th Street, February 18th from 4pm to 7pm, this dynamic panel-style interchange is designed to cultivate a dialogue between Chicago's entrepreneurial leaders, achieved professionals, and brand strategists, while teaching and challenging the city's budding entrepreneurs, transitioning professionals, recent graduates, small to medium size business owners, and seasoned professionals. This multifaceted event, which was created by Nashville based Premium World Brand Management, will provide attendees with invaluable branding, strategic marketing, and public relations instruments along with an enriched professional network that can be used to enhance their individual goals. Tickets for this event are on sale for $15 and can be purchased at www.BRANDINGin21.eventbrite.com.

Arriving during a period where layoffs and unemployment are of the norm and post college and professional-school employment are of the utmost scarcity; the exchange to be had at the B R A N D I N G IN 21 seminar will confront head-on the old-fashioned and mythical notions that branding is something done by large, well-funded corporations.

"In today's changing economy and job market, it is more important now more than ever to see opportunities where others see problems!" Joshua Mercer, Founder of Swish Dreams Non-Profit and Wright on Mercer Insurance Group LLC.

And an opportunity creator B R A N D I N G IN 21 is! With a nearly every aspect of the event sponsored by local businesses; these Chicago influencers are putting their money where their mouth is, and their time where their hearts are.

"I'm originally from Chicago; I was born and raised here. Every week I'm receiving a phone call, an email, or even a Facebook message from former colleagues asking me for sound business and branding advice. There's definitely a need for this dialogue! If anything, we want to help eliminate the fear that can come with the idea of branding…It's quite simple once you remove the esoteric beliefs associated with it." Miji Pearse, Principal Consultant of Premium World Brand Management
