Cool.

Where do you work? People ask. When I get this question I feel so proud to not only utter the reputable company, but to explain what industry I am in. There is not a day at work in which I don't think 'ad agencies are really cool.'

Might sound nerdy, but there is no harm in loving your work... and I know I am fortunate. I When I first started at Scout Branding, I knew I was joining a team of creatives who thrive off forward and innovative thinking. They are a

lways producing awesome work in often cool ways . Those who have been working in the ad industry often don't realize that their day-to-day work is impressive, exciting, interesting and is never monotonous. Each day brings something new and unexpected.

I wrote a post a while back talking about my first experience at a commercial shoot, and now I'd like to share one of my more recent "something cool."

My boyfriend, Carter.

Just kidding. But for a client, I oversaw the growth of ten trays of wheat grass to be the centerpiece of their booth at a local festival. In recognition of my oh-so-hard work I got my own personalized photo of HGTV's Carter Oosterhouse (sponsor of natural gas.) Proud I am letting it sit on my desk right next to my personalized note from Project Runway's Shirin Askari. So what if they are considered D-List? I still think it's cool.
