1:00: The brown bag finishes up! We had a great time with Amanda and Matt!
12:55: With several May grads in the room comes the natural question: How do you make it through to graduation and what comes next? Both answer it's about knowing what you ant to do and what you're interested in. "Put the effort into stuff that's your dream job," Amanda says.
12:53: A large portion of mobile developing is trying to make things seamless for consumers. The idea is to make a sale - the easier it is for the consumer to pay, the easier it is to make the sale.
12:50: Question: When working with a mobile campaign, how do you keep everyone in the loop? Amanda talks about how it's common for clients to come to The Marketing Arm with ideas that are dispersed between different departments and agencies to make sure there's no overlap. "There's a lot of people that play," she says. Matt says it's not common for clients to only use one agency anymore. On some accounts, clients have have multiple agencies working on mobile strategies.
12:45: Often, clients know what they'll want later on down the road, but for re-branding campaigns, things can change overnight. Matt and Amanda work with clients on both long-term and short-term goals and sometimes on very short deadlines. Amanda discusses how her work with JCPenny's re-branding campaign. No more of those JCPenny's coupons in the mail - check your texts for weekly deals.
12:42: Amanda stresses taking the initiative to start learning about developing skills, getting on a developing project, trial and error with app building.

Are you a woman? Do you have a great idea that would be a great contribution to digital news media?
If you answered yes to both questions, then consider this: the International Women's Media Foundation is offering three grants, each worth $20,000, to female journalists looking to advance their digital media startups.
This is the second year for the Women Entrepreneurs in the Digital News Frontier grant program, which aims to "(diversify) the digital news media landscape by expanding the voice and role of women entrepreneurs."
How journalism students can stay humble while promoting their work
By Andrew Gibson
Should journalism students ever feel shame after a shameless self-promotion?
Maybe that sounds ridiculous. Especially to the wave of upcoming journalists programmed to be both news professionals and unique brands. Heck, you might have found this blog because I promoted it on Twitter from @ONAMizzou. I'm not ashamed to say I've blasted multiple posts from my own blog into the social sphere, as well.
Media giants like to show their feathers, too. Tweets from 13 "major news organizations" linked to their own websites 93 percent of the time during Feb. 14-20, 2011, according to a study from the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism and The George Washington University's School of Media and Public Affairs.
But even so, posting, "Here's what I wrote, look at it," on social media might still seem brash to a portion of the younger generation. Here are four less conspicuous ways to build acclaim for your work.
