THE WAY AHEAD
The whole ethos of communicating with consumers should be the search for something new to say. Read books, watch movies, watch TV, surf the web and go out and experience people in many different environments. Whatever you do, don't do this to order. Don't just do it because this or any other book says so, or as part of a student project; do it because you are genuinely excited by the prospect of a job in advertising, marketing and media communication.
Make yourself more interesting.
Advertising: Its business, culture and careers sets out not to claim to provide all the answers you need to embark on a successful career in advertising and media communications. It sets out to equip you to ask yourself the right questions.
Good luck!
