PiXate Creative Selected to Present Case Study at Stonyfield Entrepreneurship Institute
Online, April 30, 2012 (Newswire.com) - PiXate Creative, a full-service marketing agency and provider of photo-realistic 3D architectural renderings, was among a handful of up-and-coming companies chosen to present self-styled case studies before an elite group of some 200 business leaders, academicians and investors at the annual Stonyfield Entrepreneurship Institute (SEI), April 26-27 in Concord, N.H.
The Stonyfield Entrepreneurship Institute was conceived by Gary Hirshberg in 1998 based on his experience growing Stonyfield Farm, Inc. from its humble start as a seven-cow operation in 1983 to its current $359 MM annual sales level. In 2002, Gary joined with Michael Swack of UNH's Carsey Institute and Whittemore School of Business and Economics. In 2008, the entities created the current partnership.
SEI describes itself as a boot camp for community-minded entrepreneurs. By offering a highly interactive, intimate venue for networking, storytelling and problem solving, the institute has provided a safe yet stimulating environment for hundreds of for-profit and not-for-profit entrepreneurs to learn about financing, marketing, finding personal balance, managing change and the many other areas that are fundamental to growing an enterprise. The "case" method approach ensures a practical and grounded "real world" experience. Participants are assured of taking home a wealth of pragmatic and useful ideas and strategies that can be immediately put to work in a growing enterprise.
In his case study, PiXate Founder & CEO Jonn Kutyla talked about a challenge shared by virtually every entrepreneur: balancing work and family priorities. "When I started PiXate in 2009, I worked seven days a week my first year, but all those long hours have paid off," Kutyla said. "PiXate has grown rapidly, and 2012 revenue is more than double what it was in 2010."
Kutyla feels he benefitted immensely from his experience at SEI. "I gained incredible insight on how to grow and manage my business more effectively and deliver even greater value to clients," he said. "I also learned that the issue of balancing work and family is not unique to entrepreneurs. All of us face this dilemma throughout our working lives, so it's just a matter of learning how to make the right choices."
