I swear to God Minneapolis must have one of the most marketing agencies per capita in the country.
If not – we’re up there.
And a ton of them are awesome. But it’s not always the biggest marketing agencies that have the most to offer:
- You’ve got to look into what clients they have, and why they serve those clients.
- Who are you really going to be working with, are they kind (and driven.)
- What energizes you? How can you do more of that in your actual work? (Your Zone of Genius)
