Michael O’Brien, president and co-owner of Printing Partners in Indianapolis, IN, began his career in the print industry when he purchased an Insty-Prints franchise in 1989. His brother and co-owner, Joel O’Brien, joined the company later that same year. Within ten years, they discontinued the franchise and began operating as Printing Partners. Michael’s support for the arts and the need to increase brand image and awareness led him to collaborate with local arts organizations to provide marketing support and create partnerships. In 2011, Printing Partners was recognized in the BCA 10: Best Companies Supporting the Arts. Printing Partners continues to be a significant supporter of the central Indiana arts community. It operates at two Indianapolis locations with more than 100 employees.
