In a vast sea of job opportunities, listen to the journey’s of Anna Jacobs, Michaela Brennan, Henry Moskal, and Audrey Shaefer to hear how they ended up in the 2019 DDB Chicago Summer Internship. Their experiences range from attending portfolio school to having no previous internship experience. These four interns explain how there’s no one road that gets you to a profession in the ad world — regardless of background, if someone is passionate about the work they do, they’ll end up in the right place eventually.

Kicking off Totally Qualified, four of DDB Chicago’s 2019 summer interns Kira Blanchflower, Margaret Kaufman, Julia Tavrides, and Jessica Nosike discuss their summer positions in the agency, what led them to DDB specifically, and why they chose to dive into the crazy world of advertising in the first place. Listen as the group walks through what skills brought them to advertising versus other professions, how their internships have deepened their love for the work, and what makes this industry so incredible.

Welcome to Totally Qualified: A collaborative podcast that is aimed at navigating the advertising world, agency culture, and how to thrive and survive as told by a group of DDB interns who may or may not be totally qualified.
