Hi John, i don't think we had met before, so I looked you up on linked-in. WOW! Your recommendations & experience are outstanding! Very glad to meet you, and let's please keep in touch. I read some of the comments here, and I'm working on a Director of Digital Strategy, and yes tough to find, but I've made some in-roads. Thanks so much for the invite! Lee
My first choice would be to find something in planning, since it's what I tried to gear myself for in college. But since I know how hard it has been to find any kind of agency job recently, I've been open to take anything with an agency in either account service or media as well just to get my foot in the door somewhere and worry about getting in to planning later. I figure any agency experience at this point can't hurt, regardless of where it is.
Are you still looking for an Interactive Planner? I'm actually in talks with Melanie Courtney for a position at the Richards Group. She's got me set up to interview with another group but I would love to chat with you since my primary interest is the web.
Currently I am working at an Interactive agency but they don't have much of a planning group so I'm trying to see if I can move forward.
hey John, I don't technically have an interactive experience, but i do take keen interest in it. I created a website for myself a couple of months back. Would like for you to check it out.

The website has more about me, some of my work and a photography section. I am a recent graduate from the VCU Adcenter and I am a planner.
