THE POWER OF A WEEK
Creative Week 2013 is the first week-long truly regional (all seven

HOW IT WORKS
Events will happen all week October 19th-26th around the
seven county region including Benton, Cedar, Iowa, Johnson,
Jones, Linn and Washington counties.
Major promotional partnerships will shine a light on all the events
and the region as a whole, building buzz and changing perceptions
about what is created here and who creates it.
The Creative Week Production Team, a group of volunteer pros will
wrap the Week in an amazing brand experience and creates
fantastic media collateral for viral sharing.
