About Me

I like being able to wear shorts and t-shirts to work so that pretty much explains why I like the business of advertising. Coming up with ideas and writing copy didn't sound too bad either. But, honestly, being able to wear shorts was the clincher. Just kidding, but seriously.

Well I see you're from Detroit, It's more peaceful and laid back in Lansing, nothing much happening in town. But I think you'll like the surroundings. Besides, MSU is ranked top three for ADV schoold. And top ten for college chicks...

At 9:11pm on August 7, 2007, ivy yumeng said…: Most of agencies in China speak in Mandarin as the main language, but foreign agencies make the English language a important ability of employeeing, because president and other senior managers there are many English-speaking people, so some of the meetings and forms are in English. Of course the majority of staff speak in Mandarin to exchange, because they are all Chinese people. There are also some agencies speak English only.Such agencies tend to concentrate in HongKong. Do you know HongKong? One of China's prosperous coastal cities. What I know is most of the world's leading agencies have set up branches in China , as China accesses to the WTO.Well,Max,do you want to go to China for work??

At 12:58pm on August 3, 2007, Ramanjit Singh Gulati said…: Hey Max, actually there's no shortage of creative people in Asia. If you look at the international award books, you'll find many ads that win every year from Asian agencies. But that doesn't mean there's no place here for people from another corner of the world. Perhaps the most cosmopolitan and expat-friendly cities here are Singapore and Hong Kong, and to some extent, Kuala Lumpur. You can give it a shot, but mostly agencies hire expats only for their talent and experience. It might help to spend a few years working before you come here. If you already have a book and don't mind earning very little, try the above cities as there's no harm. Lemme know if you need more help. Good luck.
