My name is Peter Christou and I just started working at Brand Iron as a part-time intern. <br /><br />So far, as an intern here at Brand Iron, I have planned an office event, partner event, learned the basics in cutting with a sharp blade, learned about the expiration dates of cupcakes, learned about the clients of Brand Iron, and have done internet research for networking events.  Good stuff I tell ya.  <br /><br />A little background about me, I spent many years running and managing a family owned business and made the decision to change my career path and get into marketing.  I just wanted a change which I think everyone needs at different points in their lives.  I would love to have a successful career in marketing when I “grow up”, and Brand Iron will give me some of the skills and know-how to make it happen.  I’ve had experience in marketing at my previous job, and enjoyed all the aspects associated with it, from the initial brainstorming, to the creative process, to seeing the finished product of the job.  <br /><br />Branding is everywhere, whether you realize it or not.  I think it’s very interesting how we are drawn to certain products over others, why we choose to go with one bank over another, and why we pick certain restaurants to eat at for special occasions over other restaurants.  It always starts with how those businesses market themselves and how they try to sell themselves to you/us, the consumers.  Anyhow, I am really excited to be a part of the Brand Iron team and I’ll keep you posted on how things are going from time to time.
