If you were a color, what would you be?

I choose royal blue. Unlike most shades of blue, which can convey sadness, royal blue has an electrifying quality that I love. It stands out in the best way without being too overbearing.

What brings you joy?

Music brings me joy. I listen to music daily, which is weird to think about, but it is an essential part of my life. My choice of music changes by the minute, but at the end of the day, some of my happiest moments have been while listening to music.

MetRX’s “Monster” is a brilliantly written campaign that is built on the idea that inside any competitor is their pleasant daily persona, but there is also the beast that can be allowed to run wild.

If I had to pick a favorite fictional character, I would go with Charlie from The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Cole Chafin

Marketing Data Analyst

What is your favorite ad campaign?

The NBA released a block of Christmas commercials in the early 2010s promoting their Christmas Day games as well as the Christmas Jersey's. As an impressionable teen, it was incredible to see the league's biggest stars working together to recreate popular Christmas jingles. The commercials are unique because the jingles were created through noises that you would hear in an actual basketball game; i.e shoes squeaking, the ball going through the net, and the ball bouncing off the hardwood. Through these commercials, I realized my passion was creating these creative campaigns to spotlight incredible brands.

Lavender, the color of Samuel L. Jackson's lightsaber and it goes with my eyes.
