After nearly a year in the making, we've decided it's time to share the vision of BCP and how it coincides with Portland's evolution as an American city. We will reveal exactly what BCP is, how it came to be, and where we plan to take it. Most importantly, we plan on sharing with you WHY this matters.
Brushfire Creative Partners welcomes you to our debut party. We're here. Let's go.

Becoming Brushfire, July 15, 2014
After that brilliant night, and after a few text messages it was decided: WE WERE GOING TO STAND IN THE GAP. We were going to be everything every other agency wasn't. We were going to help give a voice. Encourage creating. Build a new community.
So we met over waffles and a casserole. We talked about our strengths, rather our super powers. We talked about being African-American in Portland. We talked about the lack of diversity. We knew we were going to change that. Instead of asking ourselves "How?" we decided to simply be the answer.

The night that set us on our journey. Because of this night, we ran with the feeling, the electricity that pulsed through out each person in the room. There was this creative spirit that we had all experienced on our own, but now together, we wanted to capture that. Extend it to others. This was the night that an idea was born.
