William Donahoe’s Summary
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 agency clients such as Intel and Kohls. 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.
