Today we’d like to introduce you to Colin Falco.
Colin Falco founded Pulp & Ink, a trendsetting Event Design boutique in Chicago’s old town neighborhood in the fall of 2001 and moved to River North In 2017. Prior to opening Pulp & Ink, Falco began his career directly out of college working with small to mid-sized adverting agencies allowing him to quickly learn all aspects of marketing, design and printing. Continuing this path, he began to work for the second largest printing company in the country in the marketing services group. There he was responsible for managing the creative, printing and mailing of millions of direct mail pieces per day for mid-sized and fortune 500 corporations. Wanting to explore an entrepreneurial itch pulp & ink was born. His vast knowledge and thirst for design, printing and client services translate perfectly into the success of his business. Since then Pulp & Ink has been recognized in Crain’s Chicago business, Modern Luxury, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun Times, brides.com, NBC Chicago, magazine and The Knot to name a few. Leveraging the resources and talents of Pulp & Ink, Mr. Falco regularly donates his time and products to varied Chicago-based charites.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
In the past 15 years the road had a few bumps but we built a solid client base throughout the years and that support is one of the main reason we have continued success.
