Some good news to share with you guys... 2 out of 3 C.D's replied. Marc wants me to contact his assistant to arrange a time to meet. And Zak metioned that he's tied up between pitches, but once they're done, he'd be more than happy to look at my book (2 weeks time). So I have to get my butt in gear to polish off my book.

In conclusion; there are Creative Directors that care! Yes, they're extremely busy, but yet, they manage to respond. I respect them for that, and among other things. These are the kind of C.D's you want to look up to because some day, maybe you'll be in their seat and young guns will be knocking on your door. What goes around, comes around.

alek.

"Justin,
Brandworks is modestly stepping up. They need more clients, but the shop is growing.
My old bud is an Art Director there (he worked on that Cool Pix campaign that won a Bronze at the Marketing Awards).
If you're gonna take it, I wish you best of luck. And don't forget to write!"

"Would anyone think less of me if I took a junior writer job at a place like Brandworks?"

"Most CDs care, and are very willing to help. I just think stunts and gimmicks are wasted on them."

"This is good. I am looking forward to seeing your next steps, and hearing about how you follow up on all your activity to date. Don't waste all the efforts you have put in so far, as generally, attention spans are short."

"If you don't mind checking back into the "Reflections" entry. Everything is explained until this point.

Justin, thanx for keeping up with me and helping me out!"

"Good to see you're showing your book around. I think that's the most important thing. Was James Spence the only guy you've taken your book to so far?"
