Session Abstract

SharePoint’s Brand Center promised to make corporate branding in Microsoft 365 a breeze. So… did it? In this brutally honest (but lovingly snarky) session, I’ll walk you through what it actually felt like for me to roll out the Brand Center for a sprawling 8000+ employee organization. We’ll cover: - What actually worked, what sat there looking pretty, and what no one used - How to keep your brand (mostly) intact across PowerPoint, Word, and Clipchamp without babysitting every font and logo - Whether CDN integration is a performance win or a governance migraine - How Copilot plays with—or sometimes ignores—your brand assets Expect hands-on demos, practical advice, and a no-fluff breakdown of how to get the most out of this feature—without overpromising what it can’t deliver. If you’re a SharePoint admin, intranet lead, or the poor soul who got voluntold to “make our sites look better,” this one’s for you.

Note to event organizers

Branding in M365 got you spiraling? Join me for a brutally honest look at deploying SharePoint Brand Center (with Copilot in the mix), including what actually worked, what flopped, and how to make it work in your benefit.

I am a Microsoft 365 Solutions Architect, 2x Microsoft MVP, and MGCI Regional Leader helping organizations make Microsoft 365 less complicated and a lot more useful. With more than 20 years of experience in web development, IT administration, and systems integration, I specialize in SharePoint, Teams, Power Platform, Copilot, governance, and adoption, focused on getting more from the tools organizations already have. My work centers on modernizing legacy solutions, simplifying development practices, and building governance frameworks that are practical, sustainable, and human-centered. More recently, I have focused on Copilot readiness and adoption, helping organizations move beyond simply keeping the lights on and start using Microsoft 365 to work, collaborate, and create in better ways. Whether I am speaking at a conference, writing a blog post, or working with clients, my goal is always the same: make Microsoft 365 a little less confusing and a lot more useful. I spend as much time helping people navigate change as I do helping them navigate technology. Outside of client work, I am an international speaker, community builder, and author of UnsuckM365, where I share practical, no-fluff stories from real Microsoft 365 environments. I am also a bedroom DJ who believes music and technology have a lot in common. Both connect people, tell stories, and create new ways of thinking.
