Meet Adam Brackbill

In the summer of 2013, Adam noticed so many people in Harrisburg grumbled about the lack of traditional ice cream shops. Other than Hershey’s Ice Cream, the selection was limited. He sought to bring his family’s tradition here to Harrisburg and revive the traditional way of making ice cream but make it more fun. His journey does not stop there. Come hear the full story and be a part of the How It’s Built in the ‘Burg experience.

What do Nike, Gucci, and McDonald’s have in common? They all have a strong brand. Marketing is not exclusive to companies and celebrities. Everyone is capable of developing a strong personal brand. What is your mission statement? What is your vision? How do you represent yourself online and in person? Finding answers to these questions and incorporating them into your professional and personal life is key to perfecting your brand.

Jason Klock, the founder of Klock Entertainment, has mastered not only the brand of his company but his own.

Jason has created a strong brand based on an extremely high level of customer service, the experience that is provided to clients from the moment of inquiry through the end of the event, and the ability to embrace the use of technology to help clients achieve their vision stress-free.
