The Many Hats of a Brand Manager

Posted by Emily Webster
Comments

I have been in Account Management for almost six years. During that time I have learned as a Brand Manager that there are many roles you can play in any given day. These roles keep my life very interesting and are one of the things that make the advertising industry fun. I could not do my job without the help of my team members... Read more

Return of the Road Warrior

I’m happy to say that this ad2 post is being typed from the comfort of my desk in Kansas City. It feels good. I looked back at the last time I contributed an article to get inspired for this round. It was written while shooting on location in Dallas with t2 + Back Alley for AMC Theatres. I then realized that after that... Read more

Buzzword Bingo: Efficiencies

Posted by Stephanie Scherer
Comments

It seems that lately, we’re being pushed and pulled more than ever to be as efficient as possible. “Do more with less” they say. I don’t know if we ever reach maximum efficiency, but personally, I do get better at it year after year. I try to keep a few things in mind to make sure I’m doing my part... Read more

I can’t dance. And I don’t care.

I looked like a runner who got lost. All lanky and awkward in my running capris and tank. A white girl pretending to have rhythm. But I shook it (or attempted to) for an hour. My hips went one way and my arms went another. I stomped for eight counts 20 times and did this move where it looks like you are walking like a belly... Read more

What running teaches me about writing. And vice versa.

You will have good days. And you will have bad days. Part of being a writer is learning to accept the occasional duke-it-out session with a blank piece of paper and a deadline. And bad days of running? They’re always followed by days with fewer hills and longer flat stretches. No matter how far away you go, come back to... Read more

Having made it past my 90-day probationary period with Alistair I thought I would lay out where I have come from and where the experience I have brought with me will hopefully take me.

Carbs won’t make you fat. And other things I learned in Paris.

No matter how well you did on the AP French exam, you’re not fluent. Sure, you might be 31, but when you first see the Eiffel Tower, you’ll squeal. Then, you’ll cry. You have not had a croissant until you’ve had one – fresh out of the oven – from that little bakery on the corner in Montmartre... Read more

I worry because others don’t.

Some call it worry. I call it being prepared. I practice it in most aspects of my life - foreseeing problems and planning for them. Now that my daily commute on I-35 feels like an obstacle course, I practice defensive driving. I inconspicuously scan the room for emergency exits when I’m in crowded places, just in case....

A copywriter’s key to survival.

Posted by Jessi Hamilton

Read. Seriously. Read memoirs and novels. Poetry and screenplays and blogs and columns and whatever you can get your hands on. Just read. It will make you a better writer. Learn to cook. Or go running. If writing is your only hobby, get another one. Quickly. I don’t care if you wrote your first short story when you... Read more
