Description

Creatives have always worked behind the scenes of the world's most well-known brands. However, we're now seeing more of these minds stepping away from cubicles, co-working spaces, and corner offices - pairing progressive, innovative ideas with corporate experiences and starting their own ventures to have greater control of their creative voices. Victor Nguyen-Long is one of those same individuals. The Arlington, Virginia native has worked at Red Bull, Nike, and Audi - to name a few - but has recently taken his talents to the streets, currently freelancing as a marketing strategist and planning to soon launch an artist incubator in Washington, DC. In this episode, we talk about going to Georgia Tech as an engineering major during the Freaknik era, when he knew marketing was the better career choice, influencer marketing in the digital age, currency in DC's creative economy, and his 2017 creative outlook for DC.
