Greetings!
Happy August!
We'd like to introduce the newest member of our team, Brad Cabus! Brad joins our Client and Talent Services team as Account Executive. He'll focus on connecting the perfect talent with the right client. Brad is a graduate of the Scripps College of Communications at Ohio University and has past work experience in the agency, corporate and PR world. Welcome, Brad!
You might notice that our ezine looks a little different this month. We've added two new sections to include our education and direct hire divisions. Illumination Bureau offers classes to creative professionals looking to advance their skills. Our Executive Search team will expertly find your next creative professional. We also recently freshened up our website with new colors, images and drop-down navigation links. See what you think! www.portfolioiscreative.com. There are still two weeks left to donate items for patients at Nationwide Children's Hospital. Through our philanthropy committee, Creative Next, we're collecting art supplies to inspire and encourage creativity in the young people of our community. Click here to see what supplies are needed and schedule a pick-up.

 Opportunity Knocks
Top 5 Reasons a Creative Person is Let Go
Catherine Lang-Cline, Owner
"First it must be said: the shelf life for a creative person is not very long. Two to maybe eight years is a long run anywhere because creative people need change. That sometimes comes by their choice and sometimes it's someone else's choice. But the reasons are typically the same."

New Year, New Initiatives
Green Tip
Do you ask for paper or plastic when at the grocery store? Honestly, neither is a good choice. Twelve million barrels of oil were used to make 88.5 billion plastic bags consumed in the United States last year. And it takes four times more energy to make paper bags. The best choice is reusable shopping bags made of cotton, nylon, or durable, mesh-like plastic. If you happen to forget your reusable bags, choose paper if you will recycle or plastic if you will reuse it.

Wellness Tip August is National Immunization Awareness Month. If you have kids, chances are you've talked to their health care provider about all the options. But, did you know that lots of adults aren't up-to-date on their shots? Immunity can fade over time, newer vaccines are available or you may have missed some of your shots when you were younger. It's not too late to catch up, talk to your health care provider to learn more. |
