How can you write a commercial script that is tailored to a specific region?
The Chicago advertising template: “#1 <insert product category here> in the Second City” Also we always talk about blues and the Sears Tower There’s a fine line between try-hard and “we get you.” Talk to locals and hear how they *actually* talk about their community. What are some inside jokes? (Like “you’re from Naperville but you say you’re from the city”).

How can you show you're a quick learner in Digital Marketing interviews?
Write down the answers to these 3 questions: - What does the company sell? - To whom? - How does the company deliver it? Those are your fundamentals. Then, create a Strengths/Weaknesses chart. Write down: - What's working? - What could be better? Being an outsider, you offer them a gift: The gift of an objective 3rd party POV on their biz. (Like a consultant.) Not only will they appreciate the groundwork... After all that research, you'll know what you're walking into (or rather, what you're running away from 😅)

If you're not bored of your own messaging - you're not talking about it enough. You'll always get tired of it before your audience will.

Energy Award
Energy BBDO
I am surrounded by insanely talented, kind, and generous people at Energy BBDO. Some of the best folks I've ever met. For some reason, they nominated me, along with several other BBDOers, for the annual Energy Award. I'm really grateful people think I sorta know what I'm doing and like to make others laugh in the process.
