The blog about advertising I started in 2010 out of desperation. I was unhappy with school,
unhappy with my work, really just generally unhappy. It’s helped keep me sane since.
Here’s some links to get you started.
WHAT'S THE POINT OF ADVERTISING? | What wasn't always now is.
MIRED IN MARKETING MUCK | Let's be honest for just a few minutes
Leave a piece of you on the paper | Drowning in digital waste
It's better to not know better | A short exchange with the janitor
To what end? | Finding a voice

My university's ad program didn't have any portfolio development (as strange as that may sound).
So, during our senior year, a group of renegade ad students banded together to create The Book Club.
We focused on building portfolios without any class assignments.
The critiques were brutal but constructive.
100% of us came out of school with jobs in advertising.

SHORT FILM
Some friends and I made this for our school’s short film competition.
We came in first because, of course we did.
It taught me two great lessons: Work with a great team. Know your audience.
