It's rare that people get the chance to work for an ad world legend. Lightning struck twice for me in my career, and working with Marian Salzman was the first strike in a weather-filled career. (second strike was moving to Miami to work for CP+B). I met Marian after I answered an ad in the NY Times (I know) and together, we worked in many time zones with many late nights and many expense reports in different languages. Marian is a true force when it comes to trends- here is a sample of some of the work we've collaborated on- I love wearing my trend hat and would be thrilled to do more reporting in the field. Also, see my work for IPG Medialab- was fun to write for them as well and address tech trends now and next.
