Everyone at Dunn&Co. is encouraged to get involved in our community and I’m proud to report that many of my fellow d&c staffers roll up their sleeves and devote time to a number of worthwhile efforts. On Thursday I kept the good agency karma flowing and volunteered once again for the Great American Teach-In. I decided to make my topic “Using Advertising for the Greater Good” so I could have a platform to educate students at Pride Elementary School about See The Blindspots.

I spoke to the entire 4th grade and opened their eyes to how much fun advertising is and how lucky we are to be able to use our talents for a cause like public safety. The kids got the message, loved the campaign and were really impressed by our CGI work. I left there feeling as good about myself and our agency as I do after a successful client presentation. There’s really nothing like showing kids how their natural sense of curiosity and play has a welcome place in a grown-up industry like ours. – Glen
