“As a marketing team of one, I’m always looking for impactful ways to evolve as a professional, and Cushing’s Lunch & Learns are a great resource. I’ve had the opportunity to learn from industry superstars, including Andy Crestodina and James Ellis, and left with actionable tips to incorporate into my company’s strategy. Make sure to take their tour – you’ll get an up-close look at the high-quality work that Cushing delivers (and catch a serious case of workplace envy)!”
GIF Me a Sign

Have you ever created an engaging GIF only to find out it was too large for the ad placement? You’ve got an awesome media placement ready to go – but what are your next steps for wrapping it up and getting it to the print shop? What are crop marks and bleed anyway, and can’t we come up with a less aggressive phrase?

Mike Riordan of Digital Design Lab Will Answer Your Questions & More.
