AIGA CO Presents: Johnny Cupcakes November 3, 2010

Mr. Johnny Earle aka Johnny Cupcakes' lecture series will tell the story of just exactly how he turned a simple joke into a multi-million dollar business using very non-tradition methods starting at the age of 19. No business plan, no start up loans, no investors, no wholesaling or advertising. Johnny has given his story to over 100 schools and universities around the U.S., Japan, and the U.K. Johnny's lecture focuses on starting a brand + business (both web-based & retail) with little to no start up money, entrepreneurship, the importance of branding, small business management, product development and marketing as well as communication and graphic design.

From: Tips and tricks for approaching business in innovative and unconventional ways. To: Useful advice, tools, websites, and direction for those interested in starting a new business, Johnny's lecture includes it all. His lectures also include videos from past events so that the audience can get a feel of what this brand consists of.

Johnny's lectures around the globe have proven to inspire and motivate both students and professionals alike. Voted America's #1 Young Entrepreneur by BusinessWeek '08 and Inc. Magazine's top 500 fastest growing independent businesses 2009. Also featured on NPR, CNN, Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur Magazine, Web Marketing for Dummies, New York Times, MTV, MSNBC, The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, Fox News, Food Network Channel, & more.
