Dream Agency Dream Job

When you think of the ultimate place you want to work where would it be? What would you be doing?

If you could write the script of the job you get after college, tell me how that goes. Agency, city, job title. What would it be like? And how do you plan to land that dream job? Do you have a plan?

Planet of the Apps & More

Has anyone watched Planet of the Apps? It's a new show on iTunes with Gary Vee, Will.I.AM, Gwenyth, and Jessica Alba. It's pretty fun as it's like Shark Tank for apps.

Who else has a favorite show they are watching? I am deep into the latest season of House of Cards. And of course Silicon Valley. These days the choices for shows are pretty amazing. And they can be very relevant to our lives and business too.

What's your favorites? Add in the comments.

What questions do you have?

One of our goals with this course is to teach you practical knowledge that's immediately useful in your careers. Much of higher ed is theoretical, big picture knowledge, which don't get me wrong -- is incredibly important. However it's easy to go through your entire college career and never have practical questions answered. What's it like to work in advertising? How do I get a job? What should I know to be most successful? How do I nail an interview? What if I find myself in a job I hate?

Is the battle over social media "stories" irrelevant?

Two weeks ago I wrote a blog post discussing Facebooks latest feature "Facebook Stories." This is the second attempt by the media giant to stunt the ever growing popularity of SnapChat, arguably their biggest rival. Earlier in the year they rolled out a clone of SnapChats most differentiating feature "Stories" to Instagram.

Stories are simply short videos or images that are only viewable by followers for a 24 hour period, typically making them more informal and frequent compared to normal status updates.
