Brand Strategy London
Engage with London's brand strategy community
London Chrome Hearts and Morning Brews
Sun, Nov 1, 7:00 PMWe are putting together an informal morning meetup for anyone who appreciates the aesthetics and engineering of Chrome Hearts. Whether you have been collecting for years or just have an interest in the craftsmanship and history behind the brand, this is a chance to step away from the screens and connect with others in the city who share the same focus. We will be meeting at a quiet local spot in London to grab a coffee and talk shop, trade stories about favorite pieces, or simply enjoy some good company before the busyness of the weekend takes over. This gathering is open to anyone in the Classic Chrome and Coffee Social Club community, regardless of how long you have been following the brand. There is no agenda beyond a relaxed conversation and a decent cup of coffee. If you are around on Saturday morning and feel like catching up with like-minded people, we would love to see you there. Please take a moment to RSVP so we can keep an eye on the numbers and make sure we have enough space for everyone to settle in comfortably.
Harms mapping: What's the worst that could happen?
Thu, Oct 15, 4:30 PMMost teams are good at asking can we build it? Far fewer have a practice for asking what happens if we do? Harms mapping is that practice. It's a structured way of finding the ways a product, service or experience could hurt people, early enough that you can still do something about it. Not a compliance exercise, and not a feel-good one either. Teams that do it well find opportunities others miss, avoid expensive rework, and build things people actually trust. This is a working session, not a talk. UX for Change Fellow, Christina Lai, will introduce the method, and then we'll use it on something real. **The real thing:** East London Waterworks Park is a volunteer-led charity turning a 14-acre former depot on Lea Bridge Road into a biodiverse park with natural swimming ponds, forest schools and community spaces. They're also our partners on the UX for Change Fellowship. They do something remarkable: they invite people to help shape something that doesn't exist yet. Children, residents, people whose views on green space have never been asked for. We'll map the harms in that invitation: what it promises, who it reaches, who it leaves out, and what it costs the people who say yes. **Why this matters beyond ELWP:** The EU AI Act contains two duties worth knowing about. One demands to tell people when they're talking to a machine and mark AI-generated content. The other requires you to work out who could be harmed and how, before you deploy, and say what you'll do when it happens. On 2 August, the first became enforceable. The second isn't due until December 2027. You don't have to wait for the law to ask the questions. That's what this evening is about. **What you'll leave with:** Not mastery. One evening doesn't make a practice, and we're not going to pretend it does. You'll leave having done it once, with a story about what surfaced that's worth telling your team next day, and with a few questions that are hard to unsee once you've asked them of your own work. Who it's for: designers, researchers, product people, engineers, anyone who makes decisions about what gets built. No prior experience needed. **Free spots available** We believe access to these conversations matters. If you'd like to be considered for one of the 5 free tickets, please fill out this short form: đ[https://forms.gle/YgPFKeSXtZDMVaVU9](https://forms.gle/YgPFKeSXtZDMVaVU9) Bring anything that you like to bring to a workshop and an open mind. We'll do the rest. Doors 5:30. We start at 6:00 sharp and finish at 8:30 pm

#5 - semiotics ideation worskhop
Sat, Oct 24, 9:30 AM**Meet likeminded UX professionals and experience a new way to ideate with a researcher at UAL.** Our next event is a bit different - one of our members, Mary, is working on her thesis project for UAL's MA in User Experience Design and is hosting a session at the university for us to try it out. She's built a card-based ideation method that uses visual symbolism and semiotics to trigger unexpected ideas - almost like tarot meets design thinking! There's also a custom AI agent she's developed that plays the role of an "idea psychic," helping you reframe problems and push past obvious solutions. She needs people to use it on a real brief so she can observe what works and what doesn't. Youâll get to try an unusual creative method and help shape a memberâs research project, while also having the opportunity to meet and spend time discussing with other creatives. *** â**The Details:** * **Location:** London College of Communication (UAL), Elephant & Castle, London SE1 6SB * â**Capacity:** Weâre keeping this to a small group to ensure everyone can connect and contribute. Please ensure your RSVP is up to date and let us know if you're unable to attend. * **What to bring:** **Bring some ID on the day for entry to UAL.** * â**Vibe:** Friendly and relaxed! *** â**Why Join?** âIf youâre a designer or researcher who wants to use your skills for more than just conversion, come say hi. âItâs a chance to meet like-minded people and consider how design can solve universal human problems. â**Who is this for?** âOur events are for UX designers, researchers and other strategic and creative thinkers who are passionate about using their skills for social good, not just profit. Please note that this is not a networking event, or a place to find a job. â**Who are the hosts?** Mary is a UX designer from Iran, currently based in London pursuing her masters in Experience Design at UAL. Max is a London based design researcher. Until recently he was based in Tokyo, where he ran a small design agency and spent over 10 years as a meetup organizer. He's exploring ways to bring designers together to use our skills to work on meaningful problems. \*This event is being advertised on multiple sites, so the actual number of attendees will be different to what appears on meetup.
Friday Strategy Board Games at the Coat and Badge, Putney
Fri, Oct 23, 5:30 PMStrategy Board Games at the The Coat and Badge, Putney. **Is this event for you?** If you have been to a few WLGC events, or are used to playing modern board games with a significant amount of rules, then this event is for you. If not, please join us at our "Beginner Friendly" event every other week. This is an event to play Strategy games which range from medium to heavy in complexity and last 2-4 hours, depending on the game. It can take about 15-30min to teach, again depending on the complexity of the game. I usually advertise which game I am going to bring a few days in advance, as it can be helpful to at least be familiar with the rules. Other gamers may bring another selection of games, so be prepared to be surprised on the day. Here are more details specifically about the Putney events: Weâre a friendly, social group that regularly play a range of board games and card games. This event has been running since June 2022 and we have a core group of regular gamers but welcome new members who are looking for a games group to play on a regular or fairly regular basis. Games we play range from, 30min - 1hour games, to the heavier 2-3hour games. We alternate the weeks we play shorter games versus the longer strategy games (check the event title for which type of games are being played). Quicker, fun, social games we play: ⢠Just One https://youtu.be/0DDRxztfJP0?si=QPavmMFE3DFipM-x ⢠Skull King https://youtu.be/xlFHfCqY-5Y?si=X-U1WLP5JOI0oTcB ⢠Planted https://youtu.be/BB5mwXFPrUA?si=oLor8WTSpLUs7B12 ⢠Project L https://youtu.be/EFV-qavWUlE?si=41_XhoZQvWs_9Zp2 ⢠7 Wonders https://youtu.be/z_Wfdn5Es8U?si=-L3cLo2Uppdip2ow Longer, Strategy games we play: ⢠Lost Ruins of Arnak https://youtu.be/Kg2z4ApABY8?si=l46LNYRjQA_0QoZS ⢠Terraforming Mars https://youtu.be/n3yVpsiVwL8?si=SW7VCdJpnqErKlIO We like to start on time but if you do arrive late, donât worry, it may mean you have to wait a bit until the next game starts, but we always try to accommodate where we can. If it's Strategy games night, it is more important that we start on time as the games are longer and we want to finish on time. If you know you are going to be late please just let us know your eta. The event is free but please keep in mind that in order to have the space and run the event on a regular basis we need to purchase drinks/food from the venue. Also, please donât sign up and not show up. Not only do you take up a spot for someone keen to play games but we have limited space that we need to reserve with the venue and no-shows jeopardise our relationship with the venue. Thanks for your understanding. Hope to see you at a games table!!
