Chants of “In-House, In-House, In-House” served as the rallying cry to kick off an evening of networking and community building among in-house creative leaders who came together for InSource In-House Perspectives 2 held on September 29, 2016, at GlobalEdit Headquarters (a venue with stunning New York City skyline views) located at 32 Avenue of the Americas in New York City.
Inspired by the presentations of four featured speakers along with a follow-up panel discussion, a crowd of more than 100 people showed their enthusiasm for working in the world of creative services, as well as their eagerness to learn more from each another, in this sold-out InSource event. Alex Center (Design Director at Coca-Cola), Carol Carter (Head of Global Creative Services at BlackRock), Steve Kalalian (CEO of GlobalEdit and Industrial Color Brands) and Peter Leeds (Director, Global Creative and Brand Activation at Pitney Bowes) shared their insights on the joys and challenges of achieving their goals and applying best practices in their work.
