How We Do Things Around Here
Bright Bright Great was created with intent to create engaging, usable, functional and aesthetically pleasing creative experiences. We believe that the success of every project lies in the perfect synthesis of usability, functionality and aesthetics.
We call this synthesis “The Core Of Awesomeness” and leverage every project that comes through our studio doors using this principle.

Mobolaji Akintunde / Project Management & New Business
Made in Nigeria – Assembled in the USA
Mobolaji Akintunde is hard to read (no literally – try saying his name 3x with your eyes close and standing on one toe). But, he is easy to be around. He has a great understanding and love for people. Engaging in his ways and creative in his work, Mobolaji brings “cool” to all that he does.
Mobolaji received an Economics degree from the University of Chicago. However, he embarked on a nontraditional path from most of his schoolmates. Taking up artist management for ten years in conjunction with owning a boutique lifestyle-marketing agency, Mobolaji was always working and on-the-go. He brought his expertise in branding and creative strategy to both his music and marketing endeavors, and retained clients like McDonalds and Nike. Most recently, Mobolaji has joined forces with BBG and is ready to keep the phones ringing, mice and keys clicking, and lunch breaks to a minimum.
Interesting Fact: Mobolaji is .00096573% Jewish. L’chaim!
