We’re so very excited to announce Jim Button, co-founder of our cherished local, Village Brewery, as our September 15th, 2015 speaker!
For over 25 years Jim has been a leader in experiential marketing with an emphasis on events, public relations and promotions. At Evans Hunt Group, a digital marketing firm, Jim gets to focus that experiential background on a one-to-one relationship ? helping customers participate in the brands they engage with online.
As a founder of Village Brewery, Calgary’s newest micro-brewery, Jim is working hard to gather people around community. Using beer as a social lubricant, he is leveraging his many experiences in marketing and building communities to create a more connected Calgary.
Prior to Evans Hunt Jim was Vice President, Corporate and Community Affairs at Big Rock Brewery, where he oversaw their marketing and communications as well as their corporate and community investment activities. Prior to joining Big Rock, Jim co-founded The Event Group and also worked at agencies such as Venture Communications, MacLaren:Lintas, Cossette Communications and JWR Advertising.
His passion for community investment has been a common thread through his career and has earned him a philanthropy award from the Canadian Association of Fundraising Professionals, two ?40 Under 40? awards with Calgary Inc (now Avenue Magazine), and an e-Award for Community Service from Alberta Venture Magazine.
