Hi Dave,

I know it’s been a long time since your trip to JMU... I just want to say thanks again for offering all of your expertise… I dare say that your seminar was the most constructive thing I have done during my time in college. No joke :)

That being said, I am planning to pursue a career in the advertising industry, and now that the semester has ended, I have some time to work hard on taking the necessary career steps. At the seminar I talked to you about some of the agencies in Atlanta, and since then I have attempted to do some online research to find out more.

I didn’t write down the names of the agencies that you were bragging on though, and I’ve had trouble finding them with Internet searches. (The names I found on the Internet included Allied Advertising Agency, Shaker Advertising Agency, a few design firms, a few consulting firms, etc.) If you wouldn’t mind, I was hoping that you could help out with some names. I’m planning to travel to Atlanta over the break, so I’d love to take a look at some agencies while I’m there. I'm definitely not ruling out big, beautiful New York though… don't worry :)

Thanks so much for all your help. I look forward to talking to you again soon. Happy Holidays and Happy Friday!

Sincerely,

Shannon McQuary
