Connections Matter

When everyone tells you that the advertising industry is built on relationships, they aren’t lying. Earlier this week, I contacted an old friend who works at a brand engagement agency in Manhattan and invited them to join me for a quick bite. They quickly responded and proceeded to invite me to visit their agency’s headquarters. Even though my only intention was to pick her brain about working in the industry, she was kind enough to offer me further opportunity to experience her day to day work life in person. If you ever have the opportunity to reconnect with old friends, or make new ones in the industry, don’t hesitate to do so. I am so grateful for my friend for inviting me to her agency to gain more insight about a career in advertising. On top of that, I am grateful for anyone and everyone who has supported me over the years and to all the other industry members who have been so kind as to host our group this past week. Keep making connections wherever you go, because you never know what that relationship could become or where it could take you.
