Programs in Action
In this series of short videos, Paul Bateson, the foundation's general manager of external relations, talks with some of our favorite entrepreneurs about navigating challenges in second stage and their experience with our programs.
John Williams of JCW Creative
In 2012, while a sophomore at Louisiana State University, John Williams launched JCW Creative, a full-service marketing solutions agency. Since then, Williams has taken his Baton Rouge firm from a one-man show to a second-stage company with a team of 30 employees. And though Louisiana clients once generated the vast majority of business for JCW Creative, today 40% of revenue comes from 18 other states.
During a recent retreat at Big Rock Valley, Williams sat down with Paul Bateson to discuss challenges in second stage — and his experience with programs hosted by our foundation and Louisiana Economic Development.
