Of all the various things I’ve written over the past year as Lessing-Flynn’s marketing intern I can say this is without a doubt the most challenging. I tried making top-ten lists and other ways of collecting my thoughts, but they all seemed too cliche/corny. So here we go… To other interns/future interns: Network. Network. Network. I [...]
Have you ever heard of Finnegans Irish Amber? If you haven’t, I couldn’t think of a more fitting day to tell their story. While it’s not sold in Iowa, it may be worth the trip north if you’re looking to enjoy a beer from a brewery that gives 100% of their profits to local charities. Finnegans [...]
When I was walking home from my noon class on Wednesday I checked Twitter and saw several @AdMavericks tweets about the arrival of Little Debbie muffins. I don’t need to give you the complete run-down of this story, we’ve written and Tweeted about this before. But what we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived! The [...]
For me to declare my favorite state fair would be like asking parents to pick a favorite child. Would they choose their first born? Maybe they would select the middle child who’s also a great cook? Or maybe the golden child, who can seemingly do it all? I’d say my three “children” are the Wisconsin [...]
Evidently I’ve been living under a rock in a dark corner of the Interwebs for sometime now. Yesterday before I left work, Blendtec came up in conversation. I said I’d never heard of it or its YouTube videos and I was met with an intense “WhAAAT!?”. Someone please tell me that they’ve never heard of [...]
This summer we’ve all praised our favorite summer campaigns for various reasons here on the blog. From the Evian babies, to Coleman camping products, and of course Little Debbie (we’re anxiously awaiting those delectable little muffins). But I have to say that Kodak’s “Brightside Tour” with the Compliment Guys is easily my favorite. They’re two [...]
It was a rough season to be looking for an internship (better than a full-time position I guess). I’d had my fair share of interviews, some went well, and others I knew just wouldn’t pan out. As I type I’m looking at the folder that keeps all my rejection letters, and it’s fuller than I’d [...]
This post has been bouncing around in my mind for two weeks now, ever since I attended my first Do More in the City event for summer interns of Des Moines. Do More in the City is a 6-part series of events to engage summer interns with business and community leaders, young professionals and other [...]
The last thing I want to do is remind you that the nation’s current and future economic state is bleak, you already know that. I’m simply choosing not to participate in this recession, I wish more would take that attitude. But that aside most are looking over their financial plans and doing some belt-tightening in [...]
Usually it’s politicians that can’t answer a question when asked. But Twitter users rarely answer the simple question “What are you doing?” I’ll admit it wouldn’t be quite as useful if everyone stuck to the initial question, in fact it’d be mind-blowingly boring. Sorry, but I don’t care that you’re having scrambled eggs for breakfast [...]
