Every agency was awesome. Each one had valuable insights on how to be successful in this industry and life tips to better position yourself in everything you do.
Three agencies that personally stood out to me and the reason why:
Big Spaceship – Great family-like atmosphere, interesting work and easy-going employees who are all fully involved with all inner workings of the agency.
TBWA/Chiat Day – Doug Melville = AWESOME speaker. Gave thoughtful life advice and told us about his crazy life experiences. The Brittany Spears story was insane.
Wieden + Kennedy – Cool to see a few U of O alums at one of the best ad agencies in the world. Gave me hope for the future. Their work spoke for itself, especially the Built Ford Proud campaign. It was awesome to hear how that all came about behind the scenes.
I wish I could have seen a few more agencies (namely Translation and 72 & Sunny), but I’m not too upset about it because I know I’ll be back soon.
