Editor's Notes

  1. Big topics and questions Open for questions and discussion A lot to cover – frame for learning more later and asking questions Goal – to organize your thinking about advertising research and introduce tools
  2. Versus traditional learning, need to operate in a place of not knowing for a while, workplace IL is also messy – not bounded like some academic work
  3. Questions focus your search Broad for framework for understanding Strategize versus typical Google search
  4. Mintel – broad Simmons – specific brand
