MAY MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

We're happy to highlight Patrick Smith, Founder of C2 Creative Studio this month! For anyone who hasn't heard, Patrick will be our next Chamber President starting this fall! He is an incredible asset to the Chamber and created our beautiful new website last year. Learn more about Patrick and his business here:

How long have you been in business?

This is my 15 year anniversary.

What are your key products/services?

Our key service is branding and advertising. Businesses and organizations hire us to help them refresh their image, develop sales materials, create promotional campaigns, build websites, and other marketing materials.

How do you hope the Chamber will help your business grow?

There's a great mix of business in the Chamber. I hope we can leverage each other's expertise and experience in an effort to help everyone grow.

Outside of your business, how do you enjoy spending your time?

I just started Brazilian jiu-jitsu and it's been an eye opening experience. If I'm not at a workout I'm usually in recovery mode.
