Comments on: How to Get a Job at a Marketing Agency (or anywhere else) http://www.captainsofindustry.com/blog/how-to-get-a-job-at-a-marketing-agency-or-anywhere-else/ Captains of Industry is a Strategic Marketing and Filmmaking Agency in Boston Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:53:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: ashley thrasher http://www.captainsofindustry.com/blog/how-to-get-a-job-at-a-marketing-agency-or-anywhere-else/comment-page-1/#comment-126 ashley thrasher Wed, 13 Jan 2010 19:40:27 +0000 http://www.captainsofindustry.com/?p=1279#comment-126 I am a marketing professional searching for a job and I wanted to share my recent attempt to apply for a position as a Social Media Manager (company to remain un-named). I purchased a cute wooden kitchen chair at Homegoods. I fastened my resume and catchy cover letter to the top of it, I packed it up and sent it directly to the Director of Marketing in the organization. This was a little over a month ago and I have yet to hear a response. However, I am proud of my attempt and I will remain positive in hopes of an interview. If it doesn't work for this company, I am certain it will work for another. I am happy to be looked at as the "girl that sent the chair."

Taylor, cofounder of Fast Company magazine: "Imagine any and every field possible. There are so many brands, so many choices, so many claims, so much clutter, that the central challenge for an organization or an individual is to rise above the fray. It’s not good enough anymore to be “pretty good” at everything. You have to be the most of something: the most elegant, the most colorful, the most responsive, the most accessible."
