Our Creative Director Jason Schwartz will be speaking June 9th, 2011 at the Insight Design Conference in Cedar Lake, IN. The subject matter, “Giving Up The Cube: Leaving Your Day Job In The Dust.”

This is something that Jason understands first hand as he gave up leading a Creative Services team for an Inc 500 company in the Chicago loop area after 3 years to go at it alone. The “going at it alone” turned into what is now Bright Bright Great and he hasn’t looked back. If you are attending the conference and have questions for Jason before the event, please reach out to him on Twitter: Jason Schwartz Twitter.
