Ever since the SPARKsouth conference on October 14th, I've been reflecting on, acting on, and absorbing all of the spicy tips and advice I gleaned from some of the top industry professionals. If you weren't there, well you probably had some serious FOMO, so here's an infographic that provides a brief overview of what I thought was the most noteworthy advice: My personal advice? Attend SPARKsouth at all cost--even if you are just a sophomore or a junior. I wish I had gone to an event like this sooner so I would have had a better understanding of the industry. If you're not sure whether or not you want to work agency side or client side, SPARKsouth will clarify that for you. Take advantage of these types of opportunities, you won't regret it!

I attended this event as well, and I agree that is a great resource for students! This infographic is AWESOME and I love that you took the time to make one! It makes it a lot easier for students to read the takeaways, and even remember them too!

I attended the conference too and agree with your points! Another huge take away for me was about networking and building connections. Something stressed to me was never burning bridges. Everyone you work with knows someone, and they will most likely appear again at some point in your career. I wish I had gone earlier than my senior year, so many great tips for interviewing.

This was an awesome event to attend. We learned so much and got an inside scoop on the Industry from those who play a major part in it. I definitely agree with you when you say that it would have been great to attend as a sophomore or junior, or someone deciding if Marketing is where they should be. Great post!

I was unable to attend SPARKsouth this year, and yes, I had serious FOMO. I'm jealous. The infographic you included is super helpful and I will be sure to make use of it. Great post!
