Media Trek to NYC!

So have you ever wanted to work at NBC, MTV or at EMI??? I always thought it would be really cool to work in NYC at one of these high profile Entertainment powerhouses. so when I heard about the EMS trek to NYC over veterans day I thought why not! We started off at EMI and went to MTV and NBC. It was a long day as you can tell from the picture. I thought EMI was very interesting...especially how they negotiate contracts with other organizations to use their music. MTV was very unimpressive...we were there over lunch and they didn't bother to feed us and were not very prepared :(

NBC was just depressing. We listened to how they negotiate their Ad prices. NBC is currently ranked very low so they are not too happy over there. I think it would have been great to work at MTV or NBC during their peak in the 90's but they haven't been able to keep up with the changing trends in entertainment and that has hurt them. I think I would still like to work at a place like EMI but I think television is out for now!

Case Competition Part 2

So I think I had talked about my first case competition in one of my earlier blogs. I think I also said that the next time I competed I would win! Well I have to say I was right about that!

I along with Julia, Wendy and Noramay competed in the MBAE logistics case competition in Washington D.C. in November and we took first place along with a nice case prize. :)

We worked pretty hard and took our time practicing and putting our presentation together. It was alot of hard work but we had a great time. We also got to spend a ton of time in D.C. in Georgetown and in Dupont Circle. If you ever get a chance to do a case competition I would highly recommend it!
