New York, New York (PRWEB) September 03, 2014 -- The GUILD Agency Speakers Bureau & Intellectual Talent Management, an international speakers bureau and literary agency, celebrates the end of summer with the signing of Bert Jacobs, Chief Executive Optimist, and John Jacobs, Chief Creative Optimist, of The Life is good Company. GUILD will represent Bert and John for all domestic and international speaking engagements including keynotes and appearances.

We are thrilled to partner with Life is good to spread their message of optimism and the benefits of socially responsible business practices.

"Bert and John epitomize the values that we seek to share, and it is an honor to work with forward-thinking leaders who are truly committed to making a difference,” said GUILD Founder James Marshall Reilly. “GUILD is excited to arrange keynote presentations in which Bert and John will not only share their respective stories and visions, but also serve as shining examples of what can be attained when we use business and community to solve problems and draw awareness to the issues that matter most.”

Known for their lifestyle brand spreading the power of optimism and helping kids in need, Bert and John Jacobs have grown a social following of 2.5 million optimists and counting over the past 20 years of their business. From selling their designs at street fairs to, today, over 4,500 retailers nationwide carrying Life is good products, the company’s growth and success lies in its connection to the community. The company donates 10 percent of its net profits to The Life is good Kids Foundation. Bert and the company have been featured on CNNMoney, CNBC’s Business Nation, ABC Nightline, NBC’s The Today Show, and in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Inc., Men’s Health and Men’s Journal, among others. 

“After 20 years, we are more committed than ever to our mission of spreading the power of optimism,” said Bert Jacobs. “By teaming up with The GUILD Agency, we will be very strategic with how we bring our story and experience to an even larger community of optimists. We are eager to share how Life is good uses our business as a driver of positive social change, and hope to inspire and enable others to do the same.”
