Welcome to Pow Zot! This is the first entry so it’s probably going to be longer than most, just fair warning. A few stray thoughts before I get into the mission statement-esq part of the post: 1) Please let me know what you think about any and all of this. Conversation is one of the biggest reasons I started this. 2) If the page design changes slightly it’s because I’m still tweaking it, trying to bend Movable Type to my design will :-) Ok. Down to the meat of it.

What is Pow Zot!? Quite simply it’s yet another advertising blog (yeah, quite a USP huh?). Like the graphic says, it’s “Advertising by the Millennial Generation”. Why? Well because (at least for now, it’s changed a few times in the last few years) I fall into the Millennial generation and I am an Advertising Designer (no, that’s not my official title, but it’s the most accurate description of what I do.) I’m fascinated by advertising. I love it. I know it’s weird, but I do. Strategy, copywriting, art direction, all of it is so fun! I decided to start Pow Zot! to start some conversations about marketing/advertising/communications on the internet and in the “digital age” as well as to share my thoughts and insights on the industry, as a “Millennial”.

I’m working on the first real post, but I’m so exited to get the template working and the site running that I wanted to get something up. So please, feel free drop me a comment with your thoughts on the design, future direction of the blog, or whatever. I’m excited about jumping in. Until the next post.
