Description

Entrepreneurship is a balancing act between the left and right brain. Whether you consider yourself an inventor, analyst, visionary or geek, the success of your venture depends on the right mix of creativity and business acumen. Join the conversation as we discuss entrepreneurship and the creative culture.

The Entrepreneurship Connection is a series of events designed to foster communication and collaboration in order to create a catalyst for increased entrepreneurial activity in the region.

First Event – May 18

SPEAKER: JIMI ALLEN, JIMI ALLEN PRODUCTIONS

Jimi Allen is a natural at telling story with the still image. He was named Illinois College Photographer of the Year in 1998. In Jimi’s view, visual story makes campaigns and collateral, but it’s about each and every story element that makes up the whole of the client’s brand. Jimi Allen Productions was founded in 2002 in “a little room littered with post-it notes and grand ideas.” As a fledgling creative studio, JAP faced the question of survival in an economically challenged area. Today, JAP has grown to an international business that produces a wide range of work including annual reports, visual campaigns for Fortune 500 companies, magazine and book covers, documentaries, multi-media mobile galleries, and video productions.
