Another Day at the Vox

Today wasn't fairly uneventful... During the morning, the two other account service interns and I had nothing to do other than try to think of ways to decorate our hideaway in the back. We were missing our partner in crime - Brenda - who is the finance gooroo at Vox. I ended up watching an episode of The Office instead.

By late afternoon, Emilio - one of the Senior Account Executives - invited us to listen in on the pre-production meeting for the Vonage commercial their shooting on Friday. He warned us these meetings can last up to 2 hours long. Apparently in these meetings the entire team goes over every little detail that will be in the commercial. We double checked every single line the actors say, the actual casting, the clothes, the location, EVERYTHING. We sat in for a good 2 hours and then decided to leave around 6. It was a great experience to see what an AE actually does for a commercial. Emilio described to us in full detail the process of developing a commercial or any advertisement.

Hopefully I will continue to have experiences like these :) It's awesome just to observe what I hope to be doing someday!

NYC is FREEZING and raining - It has been in the 50's here!!!!! Definitely was NOT expecting this kind of weather. Hoping for some sunshine tomorrow :)


^view of the Empire State Building from the "small" conference room right by my desk... not too shabby!
