Yesterday was our first day at the Advertising Festival. It was a neat experience, especially since we were pretty much the only students at the festival. After we registered we received bags full of advertising/pr books, ads, magazines, papers and so much more. We were able to see some of the winning ads and campaigns that impacted this field tremendously throughout the past year. Angela, Kelsey, Justin, Matt and I listened to David Plouffe, President Obama’s campaign manager, speak about the campaign this past fall and how they’re still working with the people to keep a positive image for the president. We also watched some commercials for alcoholic beverages and the best of music. We had lunch at a french restaurant… I had a ham, cheese and egg crepe. It was awesome! Dinner, after a short nap, was at a Lebanese restaurant. I tried everything and liked most of it. We’re heading to the festival for the second day… we’re looking to hear from some great speakers including Spike Lee, leaders from Google and Nike, and Olgivy!
XOXO,
