Ad2

As a senior at Virginia Tech it's time I not only stay brushed up on my studies but also on future employers and opportunities. Tomorrow will mark the first opportunity of my last year here. Monica Jones of Ad2 Roanoke will be visiting our advertising class, and while I am excited to here her story in the world of advertising I can't help but feel overwhelmed that soon I, myself, will be out in the world writing my own story.

We hear it all the time throughout college, "make connections, make connections, make connections". Every student is busy making those relationships so that life after college (is there really one?) will be as successful as we all dreamed growing up. Ad2 is a unique organization that centralizes young professionals in the marketing world with a network and guidance in the industry. It is an exciting concept. The fact that even after school there is a place where I can continue to learn and expand my horizons in marketing while simultaneously living real life.

Throughout the Ad2 Roanoke website they let it be known that they "know how to have a good time". A seemingly common theme among companies in the Advertising/Marketing/Branding world. A world that embraces creativity and differences. It will be interesting to here from an advertising agency that focuses mainly on the personal branding of marketing professionals as opposed to product branding. Seeing as that is what us seniors are all trying to do; brand ourselves to make us the top candidates for future employers.
