About Me
Three reasons why I’ve pursued a career in advertising.
The people — First and foremost, I love being around creative people. I’ve found that most people who work in or around advertising have a creative spark. This can include clients, account people, and even the people in charge of the facilities (all true stories). There is a magic to the business of creativity, and it’s a thrill to be a part of.
The work — I love the work of creating advertising. It’s a job where I use my interest in business, art, and even comedy to help my clients sell their products and services. I get lost in writing scripts and challenging myself to create the best work possible. Collaborating is probably my favorite part of the job because it’s exciting when everyone is jazzed on an idea. Hours disappear when I work, and the term “9 to 5” doesn’t always apply. You can find me writing on the subway, at home, and all over town. I love it and never quit on a project until I get it right.
It matters — I believe every business needs advertising to succeed. Even if you rely on word-of-mouth advertising, that’s still an advertising strategy. Great advertising helps businesses succeed. Bad advertising hurts them. If you don’t pay conscious attention to your advertising, then you’re likely to damage your business. Advertising counts, and no matter how much technology changes, it will always be necessary.
I could go on, but I promised three. Thank you for reviewing my portfolio. I’d love to speak with you about your advertising needs.
