When we tell people about our 24-hour Createathon, they often say "You're insane!" or "That's crazy!". Something along those lines. But what they don't know is that it is, hands-down, the most enriching experience any of us have ever had. It's a career highlight for most designers, writers and developers. And we often walk away feeling like we've taken more than we've given. Because the passion and gratitude that participating Createathon charities share with us is so rich.
That's why we do Createathon.
So now that you've met Jocelyn, Catherine, Stacey, Bryan, and Jamie, here is a little bit about me and why Createathon is near and dear to my heart.
The countdown is on. Two more days.
We are riddled with enthusiasm!!!!
Who are you?
I am Kim McMullen. I am the principal and creative idealist at Flipside Creative, a graphic and writing studio with heart.
We strive to do great work for great clients. Essentially, we like to use our talents for good, not evil. It is a wildly rewarding experience every day.
What do you do?
I am a copywriter and graphic designer with an affinity for big ideas, strategic thinking, and giving back.
Why do you love what you do?
I get to come up with ideas, be the voice of a brand, and design pretty things ALL DAY LONG.
What's not to love?
Why are you so pumped about participating in Flipside's Createathon?
I'm pumped because from the very first time I embarked on Createathon 6 years ago, I knew it was something special. I always tell people that it was the highlight of my career. And I mean it. Marketing can be a greedy business sometimes, and it's nice to step away from the gluttony and do good work for good people so that they can be empowered to do more good. It just makes sense. And it gives me goosebumps all over – the good kind.
I am excited to be working this year with a talented team of creative individuals who I am certain will not only WOW our Createathon Clients but will inspire me, wow me, and compel me to do my best.
I am excited beyond measure.
Let's get to it!!
