John,

I wanted to make sure you knew about the AAPC's Winning with Creative Conference, which will be held in DC next Tuesday, June 27th.

As a member of the committee planning the meeting and someone who has worked in this field for decades, I can't say enough about how helpful this event will be for your career.

The program has been put together with care to help you learn about the intersection of public opinion research and the creative process, ad making on a limited budget, how to find the best stock footage, and even how to climb the career ladder in a field that the typical college career center doesn't even know exists.

The best thing about a smaller, more focused conference like this is the chance to talk directly with the people behind some of the most successful political advertising campaigns in recent history. I wish this conference had been around when I was just starting out. If you have any questions, please contact the AAPC team, and I hope to see you there.

All the best,

Mark Putnam
