Johnny Cupcakes Speaking Live
The Residential Leadership Association is proud to welcome Johnny Cupcakes to the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Voted America's #1 Young Entrepreneur of 2008 by BusinessWeek Magazine, Johnny Cupcakes, at age 26, is living proof of the American Dream, and accomplished this without compromising ethics, moral, or reputation. At the age of 19, Johnny created a multi-million dollar, homegrown, unique t-shirt brand that embraces independence without the use of advertisement and outside venture capital.
In his talk, Johnny will address: starting a business (both web-based and retail); marketing and branding; acquiring a passionate following; personalizing his business; why customers camp out for days to purchase his products; inspiration and how it continues to lead to his success; art and graphic design as it applies to his business; creating a unique shopping environment; word-of-mouth through viral marketing; developing a fun and healthy working environment; living and promoting a substance-free lifestyle; and more. Johnny's keynote speaker appearances have proved to inspire both students and faculty alike.
Seating is limited, so students should plan to arrive early. Special student discounted t-shirts will be available for sale, so bring cash.
