CHICAGO, July 15, 2019 – Fusion92 today announced author and innovation consultant David Kord Murray will be the featured speaker in the agency’s next Future Series event on August 15, 2019. Murray’s best-selling book, Borrowing Brilliance: The Six Steps to Business Innovation by Building on the Ideas of Others will be the basis of his talk, which will be held at the Fusion92 office at 440 W. Ontario.

“Dave Murray is more than just innovative, he is an inspiration to all areas of our business – strategy, creative, media, client service and even analytics,” said Jacob Beckley, Fusion92’s SVP, Innovation. “We’ve adopted many of Dave’s principles in our innovation methodology here at Fusion92, which has yielded 10 patents for the agency.”

Dave began his career as an aerospace engineer, working on the Space Shuttle and as part of the conceptual development team for the International Space Station. Over the years, he’s been a chief marketing officer, entrepreneur, CEO, product development specialist, software programmer, line manager for both small and large organizations, and the Head of Innovation for Intuit. He has started and sold multiple companies throughout his career – all founded on the same concept: innovation.

Fusion92’s Borrowing Brilliance Future Series will dive deeper into a work Inc.
