New Redfern Brand
The South Sydney Business Chamber, as a member of the Roll Up Redfern Group, is hosting an evening for local businesses and community representatives, to introduce the exciting new Redfern Brand, on Wednesday 9 February 2011 from 6.00 pm at the Redfern Town Hall. Refreshments will be served and it will be an ideal opportunity to meet a wide range of people who are vital to the health of the local economy.
The evening will provide a brief description of the background to the new Redfern brand and an open discussion on how businesses and the community can use it. The new brand, if cleverly used by us all, will prove to be a powerful force in changing some perceptions of Redfern and promoting Redfern, as an edgy, fun place to reside and also to do business.
The presentation for businesses and community organisations on the new Redfern Brand will be held on:
Date: 9th February 2011
Venue: At Redfern Town Hall (73 Pitt Street Redfern NSW 2016)
Time: 6.00pm
Please note RSVP's are essential to assist.
