			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cartis Group&#8217;s President and Chief Brand Strategist, Shannon Carter, will be speaking and presenting at <a title="How Design Live 2011" href="http://www.howconference.com/ehome/index.php?eventid=17015&amp;tabid=23071&amp;" target="_blank">HOW Design Live</a> in Chicago from June 24 &#8211; 27. Shannon will be presenting a session on using the Brand Value Pyramid to create meaningful on-target messaging. He will be showing the conference attendees how to use this tool with their clients to develop a deeper understanding of their clients&#8217; organizations, their products and their goals so that both agency and client agree on a relevant messaging platform – before starting creative briefs, brainstorming, copywriting and design.</p>
<p>Shannon will also take part in an expert panel, presenting his ideas on &#8220;How to Build a Better Business.&#8221; Shannon Carter, Kevin McConkey, Rochelle Seltzer and Peleg Top will share their experiences and offer advice to help creative agency owners and freelance designers build better businesses. Participants will have the opportunity to ask specific questions related to developing a more successful, profitable enterprise.</p>

<p><strong>Studio Tours: </strong>get inside some of Chicago&#8217;s top design firms! These guided tours offer an exclusive look at how one’s surroundings can inspire creativity and workflow. (Space is limited and usually goes quickly, so be sure to register early.)</p>
