Today we are joined by Jen Bell, BA '94 (Journalism/Advertising). Jen is Partner and Strategy Director of Bell+Funk, a marketing and advertising agency in Eugene, Oregon.
Jen began her advertising career in San Francisco. With renewed appreciation for the joys and opportunities of small-town life (Jen grew up in rural Oregon), she returned to her home state 15 years ago to build her successful firm and career.
A brand and communications strategist, Jen shares insights about how advertising has changed, why she identifies with the Volkswagen brand, what Mad Men gets right, keys to the creative process, and an easy but often overlooked way more Oregonians can support arts/culture. She also offers great advice for new graduates hoping to break into the field. Jen’s being interviewed by Lisa Calevi, Associate Director of Engagement.
