Live from New York

Great to see you're all soaking in your experiences! Can't wait to hear more as the summer progresses.

Hi, I'm Andrea Schneider, and I'm interning at Ogilvy & Mather in New York City. Although I've only been here a week and a half, I've already had amazing opportunities at the agency. I'm working account management on Unilever's Hellmann's/Best Foods and Wish-Bone campaigns. I'm lucky to be involved in everything from coordinating the brand strategy to sitting in a studio watching a commercial voice-over be laid down and mixed. We have some things in the works that I'm excited to share with you all soon (we're almost there).

There's an added interest for me being here in the East because I grew up all over the West. I go to the University of Oregon, but I grew up in southern California and was raised in Idaho. There are about 45 interns here (the farthest West thus far hailing from Texas ;), and we have been grouped to work in six teams on a new campaign pitch for a real client.

I can't wait to learn more and hopefully explore with my fellow big-apple Stickells. Since I travel from updown to midtown each day along Broadway, I thought this would be appropriate. If you find yourself getting a bit directionally disoriented (like me) in your new city, Google Street View may be worth a look.
