Zimmerman Advertising Assistant Media Planner in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
You were born to be in advertising! You love a challenge. You have a passion for delivering what clients want. You know how to solve a multitude of problems, but you don’t have multiple personalities. You are, as your mom tells her friends, "well rounded".
You've asked yourself, "Why did I get that ad?". You're curious about how an advertisement found you, 2 seconds after you spoke to a friend about something similar.
