Welcome Thomas Bahash, our new summer intern, to the Porch!
It’s time to welcome a new team member — Thomas Bahash — to the Porch. He’s an Advertising and Brand Strategy major at Texas Tech, and a golfer (in case you didn’t notice). We love our summer interns, and we’re so excited to introduce you to Thomas. You can read about him on our team page, and today, we’ve asked him a few questions about his perspective on advertising, so you can get to know him better. And then you can send him a big “howdy!”
What is the biggest misconception about advertising today?
aI believe the biggest misconception about advertising is it’s easy and simple. Many people don’t understand the research and work that has to be done before you release an ad.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
A piece of advice I would give my younger self is to not sweat the small things so much, learn from them, but don’t dwell on them.
What is one of the biggest lessons you’ve learned so far at school?
The biggest lesson I learned from college is to stay organized, it is hard to juggle school work, extracurricular activities, and live on your own for the first time. Staying organized makes everything a little bit easier.
What does good brand strategy look like?
A good brand strategy effectively conveys its mission to the appropriate audience.
If you could go to dinner with one person living or dead who would it be?
If I could attend dinner with anyone in the world, it would be Justin Thomas. Justin is a great person and role model to all ages, hopefully he can help me work on my swing as well.
If you could describe yourself in three words what would they be?
Three words to describe me are personable, determined, and energetic.
Tell us about a major milestone in your life?
A major milestone in my life was being elected captain of my high school lacrosse team. At that moment, I realized people looked up to me, and I wanted to do everything to become a great leader. I still use things I have learned from being captain in my everyday life!
From your perspective, how does Front Porch Marketing differentiate itself from other marketing companies?
Front Porch Marketing differentiates itself from other companies by establishing close relationships with its clients. I have not met a company as friendly and welcoming as theirs!
What is a fun fact about you?
A fun fact about me is I am from the Jersey Shore.
