William Donahoe’s Summary
I am a hybrid of technical skill and creativity. That is, I can think up the concept and execute the delivery.
In college I started a record label (Reverie Records) to sign local indie bands and a video production unit (Liberal Media) to produce YouTube ads for the College Democrats of America. In the summer of 2007, i interned at MRM Worldwide in New York City developing banner ads for various brand name clients. As a three-year student government vice president I conducted extensive branding and event/policy advertising initiatives to enhance student life at Bowdoin College.
I want to pursue a career in advertising with the ultimate goal of becoming an advertising executive (on the creative side) or an internet/copyright lawyer.
