Albert Brooks demonstrates how to get fired from your ad agency job. (WARNING: F-bombs)

Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you’ve likely been hearing a lot about the economic mess our country is in right now. And while Congress works to pass a plan to help bail out Wall Street and troubled homeowners, a lot of people are nervous. That includes the people who work in the business of advertising and marketing.

Let’s face it, ad agencie… Continue

At 4:39pm on October 27, 2008, Caroline Klintworth said…: Thank you for your advice. Much appreciated! :o)

What time would be good for me to call you on Tuesday?

At 12:53pm on October 27, 2008, Caroline Klintworth said…: Hi Kevin,

I'm so glad you like my Gap and VW ads! ;o) Big smiles!!

I'm sorry we missed each other this weekend. I'll only be able to talk Tuesday and Friday evening. I have rehearsal every other night this week. Would you like to try to talk Tuesday or Friday night or would you like to email? Just let me know. I really look forward to talking with you.

I did want to ask you something right away. I would like to go back to school next fall and work toward a Master's in Copywriting or Art Direction. I currently do both in my present job. What are your thoughts on the Copywriting vs. Art Direction track? Is there one you would recommend over another?

Thanks!
Caroline

That sounds great! Would I be able to call you this weekend? If so, would Saturday or Sunday be better? Looking forward to talking with you! ;o)

I'd love to talk more about advertising agencies in Nashville! I'm open to moving just about anywhere, but Nashville would be great because it's right in the middle of family. ;o)

My Aunt and Uncle live in Southbend, IN. When we would drive to their house for Christmas I would always get the biggest kick out of the endless bean fields. I like beans and I've just never seen so many. ;o) I'm not really familiar with any other city except Southbend. ;o( We pretty much just get in the car and Go. ;o)

Which advertising agencies have you worked at? Now that you're freelancing, what would you say are the pro's and con's of ad agencies and freelancing?

That's so cool that you write songs and perform! I do Love music, too! I own Cakewalk Project 5 and Dimension Pro and have been wanting to play with them so badly. I would love to make my own music and sing to it. I enjoy singing Opera, Big Band, Standards, Vocal Jazz and Broadway.

I'd really like to see your TV spots! How far from Nashville is Murfreesboro?

I also wanted to let you know that I started a topic in the forum about ad submissions to the Photo Gallery. You know how I love your AstroTurf Ad, so I added it as an example of some of the great ads submitted by members. You can check out the post here.

Cheers,
