This is Derrick. After observing him in the wild, we’ve managed to learn a few things about his habits and his interests. The things he does, what he loves, what makes him tick. We’ve compiled some of our research below for your viewing pleasure.
He loves God.
1.
God is the reason he is where he is, both in life and in advertising. The reason he randomly stumbled backwards into this industry during his sophomore year and never left. The reason kept a smile on his face during all those late nights learning Photoshop to catch up with his peers, during the long hours creating campaigns about people getting punched by pickles, and the reason he didn’t fall apart when his professor said it sucked and he had to do it all over again.
He loves the gym.
2.
It’s one of the only things that keeps him sane within the advertising wilderness. Those few hours when it’s his body that’s working to the brim and not his creativity. What’s more dangerously thrilling, the weight of a 50 lbs dumbbell that you might not be able to lift again, or the weight of an idea that you’re not sure you’ll be able to execute, but if you do, you know it’ll be great? (He’s still trying to decide.)
He loves advertising.
3.
I mean, this one should be obvious, it’s why we’re all here, right? What Derrick loves even more than creating ideas is bringing those ideas to life. He loves to make things look beautiful, and eventually realized that sometimes making things look beautiful can make people want to buy them. He also realized that there might be an industry out there where his creativity could find some company.
Unfortunately, that’s all the information we were able to compile at this time. Anything further must be learned directly from the source. Fortunately, we were able to recover his contact information and have provided it below for you to use in case you were curious what else there was to learn. (Trust us, there’s a lot more to uncover.) Or maybe you’d just like to work with him, we highly suggest that too.
