Sponsor Spotlight: Capstrat

Posted by Tim Arthur in News, Sponsors

Capstrat’s been fortunate enough to have speakers on stage the past few years for Ignite in Raleigh and Durham. This year we’ve stepped up our presence by supporting the event through a direct sponsorship and by providing design and print services for those cool posters you may have seen around town this year. And we’ll still be represented on stage. Adam Cohen, one of our talented creative directors, will be elucidating you on the trials and tribulations of dealing with teenagers.

Why did we decide to get even deeper into Ignite this year?

Because Capstrat is proud of the community of bright and creative individuals here in the Triangle.  And we wanted to play a role in the perfect event that crams as much of that talent as possible into one frenzied evening of disparate topics delivered in whiplash fashion.  Plus, we really like making posters.

From public relations, digital, social media, multi-media, advertising and public affairs consulting; Capstrat prides itself in being a communications company that helps businesses and organizations in moments of critical need. Much like the critical need to remember that first line when your five minutes starts up on the stage.
