I'm the Manager of Account Services for a medium-sized Ad Agency in NB, Canada (Hawk) that specializes in interactive and brand management. My personal intersts lie in online/social media and I've pushed the company to take a more modern approach to our client portfolios, one element begin (of course) a more 21st century grassroots approach to CRM. Traditional website development isnb't going to continue to pay the bills.
I hate to say it, but the East Coast of Canada is notoriously about a year behind in the tech game - My job is to help us catch up! What better way than to hop a plane, surround yourself with experts, and listen. (I figure I'll have a hell of a lot of fun while I'm at it - I need a vacation!!) I'm our sole representative and although have made a few connections prior to going - I really don't know wa soul in Austin... scary!
Next career step for me is what you are doing. I'd like to break into the media side of things at some point, however want to take every opportunity I get to really solidify my place as a go-to person for emerging marketing trends.
I haven't checked out this schedule but I definitely will! I'm sooooo far behind in the planning - it's awful! I need to go through and book everything and get my act together - just wonder if we need to rsvp for the parties or what I should be doing for that.
Are you going down with a big crew? What do you do?
Great to meet you here! Looking forward to the big event? I'm a newbie - travelling from Eastern Canada all alone to the big city of Austin! Would be great to meet up at some point!
