Greetings!
Happy New Year! 
We're excited about 2014 and all the possibilities the year holds. If you are one of our valued clients, keep us in mind for full-time direct hire, as well as staffing roles. We've successfully been working on and placing people into direct hire positions since the inception of our business nine years ago. We have the resources to take on any search within the advertising, marketing, design and communication fields to identify and successfully hire the best person for your role. To our amazing talent, keep up the good work and thank you for making our creative community a better place!
In Illumination Bureau news, we're scheduling our 2014 Crash Courses and we are looking for volunteer speakers. The right individual will have experience speaking to the creative community audience. If that's you (or you know someone) and you have a great idea for a topic that would appeal to creatives, please contact eileen@portfolioiscreative.com.
