I have a growing passion for what I do and that is the main reason why I love this industry. Passion can be described in many different ways. Tony Hsieh, entrepreneur and venture capitalist of Zappos.com, once said, "stop chasing the money and start chasing the passion." He was right -- to a certain extent. In every field, there is a desire to solve a problem. How do we increase sales? Will there be a positive impact on the ROI? What are the attributes to this program raising brand awareness and familiarity? All these questions are constantly being asked by brands of all sizes. So in this case, I would describe 'passion' as a tool that will give you the desire to solve those problems. When I first started out in advertising, I did not expect the long hours or 'income', but for some odd reason, I loved what I did. From seeing your work broadcasted on a TV spot to exposing 400,000 people to a brand through an experiential activation, it is BEYOND rewarding. Last, but definitely not least, is the ability to contribute to the success of a brand across all channels of advertising. I can go on and on, but it would require some coffee. Let's connect?
