Ad agencies really are as fun as professors say they are
My account management internship experience at the Brownstein Group has been very positive. It is interesting to see how everything you talk about in ad courses actually happens in an agency. From account managers constantly meeting with the creative team to discuss…

Pixar’s Slightly Creepy Viral Campaign

Zyrtec’s Gettin’ Desperate
