BuzZ October: In-house Rocks - LOCATION CHANGE

Our beloved Perk South End has closed its doors this weekend. This month BuzZ will be held at Starbucks, 1401 East Blvd, Charlotte.

AIGA Charlotte BuzZ is a meet-up event geared toward Charlotte area creatives and small business owners/employees. Please come join us for coffee as we discuss a different topic each month. Come to learn or come to share the knowledge you already have. Either way, just come see what all the BuzZ is all about.

In-house Creative, What's the ROI (Return On Investment)?

You're a Mac, and they're all PC. You care about PMS, they want ROI. You listen to "Classic Rock" on your ipod… they don't have an ipod!  How do you stay creative? We all face that problem as designers. The bigger question, how do we all maintain a level of creative Zen when in-house?

Join Mark Olle the in-house Creative Service Manager for Sunbelt Rentals for a candid discussion of working in-house. We all love paper, type and the bright shiny inks. But what is the ROI of design? We'll look at the value creative departments offer: benefits, predictable hours, career paths and greater collaboration. And of course how blending strategic planning, tight budgets and creativity in a fast pace environment is all in a day's work. Come tell your story or come to listen. The Buzz is in-house.

Discussion moderated by: Mark Olle, Creative Services Manager, Sunbelt Rentals
