Get your think on with Brett Craig

Brett Craig joins us after recently being named to The Adweek 50, a list of the fifty top marketers in America. With nearly 20 years of experience at top national agencies such as TBWA/Chiat/Day, LA and Deutsch/LA, his work has been recognized by every major international award show.

In his presentation to the BAF, Brett will address the importance of collaboration in business and agencies from excerpts from his book, “Collaborate or Die: How Being A Jerk Kills Ideas and Careers.” His presentation will provide ideas on better ways to collaborate, and help foster a more creative environment in your business. If you’re coming up in the advertising biz, managing a team of creative people, ever struggled with this issue personally (haven’t we all?), or just want to enjoy some delicious appetizers and cocktails from Berryhill while checking out some of the world’s best ads, you should join us for this presentation.
