Our newest Branded Theme are available to all Splash users.
Fresh off the easel of our Art Director, Topher Edwards, are three new Branded Themes that form up Splash's unofficial "Gallery Collection." Their names: Exhibit, Curate, and Frame.
Says Splash's resident theme aficionado, Pete Richardson, of our Product Marketing team:
"These themes are designed to be clean and simple — so you can get up and running fast with a quick image swap and minimal content updates."
But don't let their simplicity fool you: each theme was engineered to be beautiful, and automatically inherit your colors, fonts, and logos from your Brand Library.
"The entire attendee experience has been constructed to stay on-brand and look gorgeous," adds Pete, "including all of your event's emails, its virtual experience, and everything in between."
Peep the theme previews in the carousel below. Then formally add these masterpieces to your collection next time you create an event.
You can find Exhibit, Curate, and Frame in the Recommended and Branded tabs next time you create a new event.
"These days, we're thinking about all the ways to keep your attendees as engaged as possible." - Perry Piep, Technical Writer

This allows hosts to brand and design each email, and exercise full control over their pre-event email cadence — meaning precisely when and how often their emails are sent.
Event better: this enhancement is really easy to use.
For any integrated event, just add the [bluejeans_webinar_join_url] tag to your emails, and Splash will do the rest.
