Dear Brook

Dear Brook

I'm just a Junior Art Director, on my way to taking over the world of advertising... and what a long way I got.
I dream big, and I mean BIG. Sometimes, my dreams do come true and I owe it to hard work and wonderful mentors around me who show me the right way of doing things. This blog isn't really about me, it's about you. After accomplishing one of my biggest goals (getting an Art Director job in NYC) I feel the urge to give back and help others.
If you're an advertising student, if you're graduating, trying to put together your portfolio or a junior in the industry, you already know how hard it is to break into the ad world, so you might find my blog useful.

Since this is about you, what would you like to see? Feel free to reach out.
