"I feel it's important to seek out a variety of sources to keep up to date with the marketing industry. I typically research the Internet on a weekly basis for marketing ads and campaigns and any information I can find on innovations in the industry. I also attend the American Marketing Association local networking groups, subscribe to the industry journal, and attend monthly meetings to network and stay in touch with colleagues. I really like what I do, and so it's interesting to me to learn and keep current with the ever-changing world we live in."
