As one of the designers, I gained tremendous experience about what it's like to work in a creative, fast-paced advertising agency. I had the opportunity to participate in brainstorm sessions and present creative material directly to the client. I also worked on and conceptualized several different ad campaigns and print projects such as: brochures, posters, print ads, online ads, billboards, package design, displays, corporate and product branding, unique three-dimensional promotional material.
