We're all interns these days...

Sunny Saturday morning, reading the paper, and ran across an article about Lois Draegin, 55, who just lost her big editor job at TV Guide. What's she doing now? Serving as an unpaid intern at wowOwow.com, an interactive website that targets accomplished women older than 40. She's doing what so many of us are doing these days: polishing her new media and social media marketing skills. Her compensation, as opposed to monetary, is the wealth of new skills she's adding to her impressive 30-year resume. At Campbell Consulting we've added two bright 20-somethings to our team, and while they learn public relations and communications from us, we're learning a ton from them about how to navigate in the new digital world. Co-mentors? Perhaps. Right now, it's fun to be hunter-gatherers of all things digital. Our clients appear to like it, and we're having a great time on our journey!
