Not sure which “side” of marketing you want to work in? Marc Brownstein’s article offers a little help with his assessment of working on the agency side vs client side.
Excerpt:
“Agency Side:
Multi-faceted clients and assignments — work on many brands, with many personalities.

Consumers Unswayed by Celebrities in Ads-BrandWeek... →
I am not surprised. Celebrities may draw attention to an ad but they won’t be the deciding factor, unless there is a direct connection between the consumers, the celebrity and the product. For e.g. Weight Watchers, everyone can see that Valerie Bertinelli lost quite a bit of weight so the consumers will connect to her, but did women really throw away their Maybelline mascara because Drew...

L'amoureuse
Elle est debout sur mes paupières Et ses cheveux sont dans les miens, Elle a la forme de mes mains, Elle a la couleur de mes yeux, Elle s’engloutit dans mon ombre Comme une pierre sur le ciel. Elle a toujours les yeux ouverts Et ne me laisse pas dormir. Ses rêves en pleine lumière Font s’évaporer les soleils, Me font rire, pleurer et rire, Parler sans avoir rien à dire.
Parfum Exotique
Quand, les deux yeux fermés, en un soir chaud d’automne, Je respire l’odeur de ton sein chaleureux, Je vois se dérouler des rivages heureux Qu’éblouissent les feux d’un soleil monotone ; Une île paresseuse où la nature donne Des arbres singuliers et des fruits savoureux ; Des hommes dont le corps est mince et vigoureux, Et des femmes dont l’œil par sa franchise étonne. Guidé par...
