On Episode 148 of Bouncing Back, I interviewed Chris Baker who was most recently an Associate Creative Director/Copywriter freelancing at Forsman & Bodenfors. This is also my 106th episode in partnership with The Avail List.Chris only found out about creative advertising from watching MadMen. Once he realized it could be a real career, he worked his way into the Creative Circus where he would learn to master his craft. He enjoys working at smaller agencies because he gets to learn from smart people on a more personal level. Chris is also a strong believer that brands should be making fewer TV commercials, but way more videos. He loves getting scrappy on productions, and even though he's a writer, he enjoys getting his hands dirty with photography and videography. Check out his site to not only see his amazing work, but to also hear how he lived out of his Subaru Outback for over a year during covid. https://lnkd.in/epJ63G5nvimeo.com/727199634#BouncingBack #Covid19 #JobSearch #Advertising
