You're a brand.
Don't screw it up.
Launching a career is a lot like launching a product or service. Do you want to be like Qwickster, pulled from the shelves after only 23 days and ridiculed by every blog and traditional media outlet on the planet? Or like Method, an open and honest brand that created value, connected with its customers and some fun along the way? Whether you like it or not, you're a brand. Do yourself a favour and act like one. Don't screw it up.

Brainstorm’s over. Brain won.
Hey nerd! If you like math so much, why don’t you marry it?
In the digital marketing world, agencies are less about the creative process and more about the numbers. When it comes to search engine optimization, platform solutions, social and mobile media, stories have given way to data-driven insights. And the key is business performance. So if you like crunching numbers and you love getting it right, you may be up for a piece of this pi.
