Justin singlehandedly got my career in the wild and crazy world of advertising off the ground.
It was he who did everything in his power to make sure that I got a fair shake at the most prestigious position a recent college graduate could attain: New Business & Digital Strategy Intern
All joking aside, that internship was one of the best things that ever happened to me — and I owe it all to Justin. He’s easily the hardest working guy (or gal) I’ve ever met in my life, and the opportunity to work alongside him made my learning curve trend completely vertical.
More important than helping me get my foot in the door, Justin has acted as a constant source of advice and helps remind me (usually with funny and/or inappropriate pictures of over-the-hill-celebrities like Rosie O’Donnell) that you need to inject some fun into your professional life.
Or a beer.
Either way, I’ll never forget the opportunity that literally & figuratively opened the doors to my career.
Thank you, JJ.
