When I was asked during my senior year of high school if I was interested in a marketing internship at Sharp Wilkinson, I was hesitant. This was going to be my first opportunity at real job experience and I didn't know what to expect. I was nervous to meet with Jack and Chris (the managing partners at SW) for the first time because I wasn’t sure what to expect or what they would expect from me. When I started working for Sharp Wilkinson at the start of summer, I realized there was nothing to be nervous about because the SW team were all willing to help me learn from this experience.

We all have our favorite ad campaigns, but what about the ones that crashed and burned? In this post, SW team members relate their favorite stories of marketing efforts that didn't quite work out the way they were supposed to. Enjoy!

Sharp Wilkinson announced a new addition to their team today, Marketing Intern Quentin Rodriguez.

The other day we here at Sharp Wilkinson were waxing reminiscent about some of our favorite ad campaigns from days gone by. This led to looking up old ads on YouTube and consequently, quite a few laughs. We thought we might cut all of you in on the fun. Here are some of our favorite ad campaigns from our childhood.

Sharp Wilkinson announced today that they have hired Joe Hektor as a Senior Marketing Manager. Within this role, Joe will lead design and development of assets to support the marketing and sales strategies of Sharp Wilkinson clients.

Our totally awesome intern, Emily, went back to school -- but before she left, she interviewed me. I thought it might be interesting to share. It gives a pretty good snapshot of my approach to sales and marketing.

I recently returned from Boston where I attended Hubspot’s Inbound 2018 annual conference.  In attendance were 24,000 marketing and sales professionals with a wide array of knowledge and experience.  First, Boston did not disappoint with it’s tremendous seafood, culture, history and people. I was joined by my friend and partner, Jack, who also attended last year’s Inbound 2017 conference and tried to prepare me for the experience that was about to unfold. Needless to say, Inbound 2018 was killer. By far, it exceeded any and all expectations and definitely got me psyched for next year.

Well, another Inbound is in the books and the 2018 edition did not disappoint. It had everything Inbounders have come to expect from their beloved conference: great speakers, unbelievable breakout sessions, the best of Boston food trucks and happy hours with 24,000 of your closest friends.
