Questions:

Pros and Cons of Agency vs pro/college
Ben; "I one worked about 80 hours in a week for the Packers, and loved every second of it! However, it is more empowering, not working ridiculous hours, it's all about perspective."

Daniel; "The brand is more likely doing one particular aspect, narrow tasks, an agency does everything, gains a ton of experience. Great way to start, learn a ton different things, foot in the door; what you like and dislike, find out who you are through it."
​
Jonathan; "GMR is all about matching you with inherent passions and interests, it's very flexible, the culture at GMR, not a stuffy one."


Is there a lot of room for growth? Even outside of Wisconsin?
Ben; "GMR is a global company, with offices everywhere
Super Bowl and Olympic sites, presence everywhere, to get in the door at GMR, the training program at the career fair, it runs June-August, that is a  great way to get a foot in the door"

Thank you to our GMR, SBC Alumni, for making the trip from Milwaukee and taking the time to share their invaluable insights with our club about the ins and outs of working for a marketing agency like GMR  as well as their advice on how to succeed in such a competitive industry.
