I was fortunate to receive the opportunity
to participate in the Howard University Advertising Bootcamp via the
Center of Excellence for Advertising. It was an experience that I
will never forget because it opened a lot of doors for me. The Advertising
Bootcamp was a rigorous two weeks of long nights and days where projects
were created and judged daily by professors at Howard but also by
outside representatives from places such as Coca Cola and Wieden +
Kennedy. Upon completion of the program, I was rewarded an internship
at Digitas in New York City.
I worked in a technology capacity while interning at Digitas. It
was something new because I am an advertising major, but the opportunity
to work in technology gave me a chance to learn how digital ads
and web pages are created. The chance to learn how digital media
works and operates is something I could use to benefit myself in
the future.The digital media arena is a field I would like to work
in because of its non-rigid structure, so my internship applied
directly to what I want to do with my career. |
