I blame Tom Hanks for my urging desire to constantly be "Big." But I'll always be a 12-year old school girl at heart. Here's what I'm currently up too:

There is nothing objective in advertising.

There is nothing a person can point to and say, there, that’s it, do it like that each time, because there is no right way to do anything, not even one small thing, except to do it each time new and different.

Which means you may be the only one who will know if the gifts of god has given you aren’t finding traction in advertising and your larger future is in another field.

There’s no chemistry test to flunk that lets you know it’s time to leave. There’s no checklist to measure yourself against.

It’s like you’ve entered in a rodeo, except you’re not just the rider, you’re also the bull.

Lamar Is With Coco

It’s official, Lamar Advertising is awesome. In a new promo, they are using Conan O Brien tweets for their boards that are “between ads.” Lamar owns quite a few billboards across the U.S, so it’s safe to say, there really is a place for Conan.

Ogilvy Ideas Shop - A pop-up shop for ideas brought to you by the advertising giant that is Ogilvy. They are opening up their doors, well the doors to this little shop in Brixton, for three days in February to offer free ideas to local companies and charities etc to give a little something back to the community. Clever idea!

Recent gold to come from Bud Light. I salute you Bud Light (and DDB) for making me laugh and having an old korean women say “ohhhhh….porno.”

Augmented Reality platform merges with a building. Could this be the future of outdoor/billboard advertising? Could times square become black and white instead of the multicoloured digital jungle it is today? Could the pictures you take at Picadilly Circus in London become useful? Well, this video explores this notion.

Ha, priceless! There are ads (or agencies) that try to change the world for the better, then there are ads (or agencies) that just don’t give a shit. This is the latter.

CP+B Bound

Today, I signed the official document stating me as a winter 2010 intern at CP+B Miami. I’m trying to stay calm, however, I’m actually freaking out. With most things, I have this uncanny ability to form expectation or have some sort of plan to follow (that is unexpectedly beaten down by reality).  In this case, I have nothing. I don’t know what to expect. I’ve never been to Miami, and I’ve never worked at an agency of this size. I’m scared to say the least.  I’m scared I won’t be able to find a decent place to stay for 3 months, and I’m scared my performance will be unsatisfactory. I’m scared that by the time I get through this, I might be broke and unsatisfied.

Still, I’m excited. I’m excited about the people I will meet. I’m excited about the things I may learn. I’m excited about the doors this might open.  2010 is truly a new chapter in my life. All this wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my family and friends, and I truly mean that. A big shout out goes to the people at Steketee Greiner Co. They were the first to take a chance on me, and without that, this opportunity probably wouldn’t have been reality.

Thank you!
