Why are you excited about Ad Society? Everything about Ad Society makes me excited - I love being able to share my love of advertising with other passionate people and I love learning from those who also want to start a career in advertising.

What is your favorite ad campaign? I always smile when I see is the "Make Face Time" campaign for Dentyne Ice. I did a lot of research on Millennials this summer and I think it does a great job of speaking to our generation in a way that reinforces the product and brand message. I especially love the direction of the TV spots and the fact that they found a clever way to bring the message to the digital world without seeming hypocritical by limiting the website visit to three minutes.
