The Vanderbilt on Madison Avenue experience was an incredible opportunity for my peers and I to explore potential careers in media and entertainment. The guest speakers of this program are experts in their field, and they provided each of us with exceptional advice that will last long into our careers.
A few highlights included Dan Lovinger’s conversation with us at NBCUniversal, Jim Balbirer’s team presentation at Viacom, Brian Featherstonhaugh’s “Rocket Fuel” discussion at the Ogilvy office, and a tour of Facebook’s open-concept office. I felt much more confident at the end of this experience that I possess the abilities and skills needed to succeed in the media industry. The connections made on this trip will help shoot my resume to the top if media and entertainment is the route I wish to pursue.
