Hi everyone.
I just wanted to update the blog about my agency experiences and adventures in NYC, etc. A couple weeks ago, I went to hear Subaru radio spots get produced. I went on two different days; the first day, the voice-over talent was phoning in compared to the second day when the voice-over talent came into the studio. It was interesting to see how both dynamics worked. There were two different people for talent, and different sets of copywriters, account executives and producers giving input. On the second day, there were 12 spots to record but the time flew by.
DDB also hosts weekly intern meetings. Last week, we got to meet the president of DDB New York, Peter Hempel. He was a great speaker and the meeting was much more of a dialogue than anything else. We went around the room introducing ourselves and something someone would say would remind him of some story. What I took away most from the meeting was how advertising needs to "keep it real." He quotes Bill Bernbach by saying, "Advertising serves the needs of the unchanging man."
On Friday night I went to see Dispatch: Zimbabwe, the first night of a 3-night charity concert event in Madison Square Garden. The shows were all sold-out, and I can say that Friday night was incredible. There was a certain magical energy about that concert. Dispatch hasn't played together for 3 years and only came together to raise money for Zimbabwe. So not only did I feel like I was witnessing a very special reunion, but it felt amazing to be able to give something to help out. (100% of ticket sales went to charity.) I'm very grateful to be in New York this summer to have all these amazing experiences.
