Anything Else?
My office is actually in Orange County, CA (don't be jealous) & yes, we do often see the Real Housewives of Orange County & on occasion, Bev Hills
My Story:
I fell in love with advertising after seeing Mr. Mom. I thought it was going to be martini lunches, power suits, & gathering in a big room w/ easels & boxes of chinese food till all hours to brain storm for greatest campaign the world has ever seen.
The reality is, I have martinis after work, wear outfits from Target & the extent of the best campaign in the universe is POS that (hopefully) sells more 24oz 6-packs!!
It's been 13 total years in this wonderfully nutty business. It drives me bananas, brings me joy, has allowed me to meet some of the most brilliant & talented people I've ever known, in fact I snagged me a husband out of the deal!
It provides the highest highs & the lowest lows, makes you feel accomplished, yet simultaneously like you don't know a thing, it stretches me & molds me as I adapt to clients, staff, processes, various personalities & the varied trials every agency goes through as this world & our clients change & grow (or merge or go belly up or cut their ad budget).
It is a reason to go to therapy & a reason to rejoice!
