DESCRIPTION:“How I Built a Motorcycle Rally as a Creative (Bike Fest’s Story & Brand Journey)”\nG Williams\nCEO + Founder\, Grova Creative \nTallahassee Bike Fest (Tally Bike Fest) was built from a creative vision to break away from the typical rally experience.

With no local competitors\, it quickly stood out as a modern\, vibrant\, and community-driven alternative\, and quickly rose to over 4\,000 riders. \nFrom the branding to its energetic visuals and events\, Bike Fest reflects what happens when creativity and culture collide\, creating a rally made for everyone who loves the ride.

SUMMARY:AAF September Speaker Series - Ken Spera: "From Lizards to Laughter"
DESCRIPTION:Join us\, Friday\, September 15\, at Jubans as Executive Creative Director Ken Spera talks about building great brands. Insurance advertising was boring\, predictable\, and safe. Then in the late 90s\, a brand took a chance and decided to speak to its customers with wit\, charm\, and a little irreverence. That brand was GEICO and they changed the way people expect insurance marketing to look and sound. Ken Spera will take you through the formative years of the GEICO brand that he helped build from a scrappy contender to the most memorable insurance brand in the world.
