...Sometimes good.

Since my last post, I've managed to line up three interviews! Coincidence? Lucky timing? Or am I just that good? Questions for later, I suppose.

Anyway, the companies that I'll be meeting with are:

BzzAgent-A Word-of-Mouth marketing agency, where everyday people can sign up to try out a product and spread "buzz" or word of mouth opinion to their friends and families.

Racepoint Group-A PR company that specializes digital media relations, or the interactions of firms with consumers in the online space.

Opinion Dynamics Corporation-A market research firm with an ear in many different industries, who also handles polling for Fox News and political opinion research.

I have to say, though, that none of these interviews would be possible without the help and keen eye of my sister, Stephanie. She works in the analytics department of a major marketing firm, and has helped me make some inroads and contacts in the industry. As we're so fond of saying here at Bentley, it's not what you know, it's who you know.

Steph has a tremendous penchant for proofreading and a love for helping others. She's currently a mentor for YearUp and is a writing coach for the Posse Foundation. Check these places out if you need some help or if you're looking for some great places to volunteer.
