Cory Brubaker’s Summary
Currently focused on breaking into the professional field of advertising. My academic and volunteer experience has molded me into a virtual "MacGyver," capable of taking a position on the creative or account side.
Working on various projects has familiarized me with developing creative strategies for specifically identified consumers. This includes organizing focus groups, researching the target audience, writing the creative work plan, choosing proper media venues, mapping out campaign deliverables, creating and/or overseeing art and copy, and finally coordinating a detailed proposal for the client.
