#4 "Fuck the money, leave the world better than you found it"

Interscope Records:
Jennifer Frommer, SVP of Client Relations for Interscope Records, spoke to the group about her work with various famous artists and described how the process of booking companies with different bands or actors went. Eminem apparently is very creative, and brought his own idea for Red Bull. She told us that some hip hop artists can be very difficult to work with. At the end of the session, she handed me a flash drive that had some funky beats that Interscope sponsored; any one is welcome to come copy them from my computer!!

I found it interesting that he makes sure his characters are the most realistic he can make them, including the beer they drink. He knows if he puts an Abita beer in the hands of an African American, it will look unnatural.

Social blurp from last night:
Where are we? Cannes is the most beautiful, savvy place I have every been to. They must be spending more money on these parties than I could even imagine. Last night, we attended the Young Lions Party on the beach. When you checked in, you were given a Nokia lanyard with three guitar picks for free drinks. Naturally, I thought that I could be best friends with the bartender...which did not actually follow through. The djs were playing only American music, fueling our group to dance. Everyone at the party was thrilled to give any sort of advertising advice that they had, and it was less intimidating to speak one-on-one. Besides our 10 euro cab ride home, what a fun night!
