Carly Wallace

HOW DID YOU BECOME INTERESTED IN THE INDUSTRY?

I always knew I wanted a career where I could be surrounded by creativity. When I started at Indiana University, I learned more about media and realized how many different paths there were in advertising, which inspired me to change my major and fully immerse myself in the industry.

HOW DID YOU BREAK INTO THE INDUSTRY AND LAND YOUR FIRST JOB?

During my summers in college, I worked a couple of marketing internships in insurance and at an automotive shop software company. Those experiences eventually led me to my first agency role as a digital intern at Hirons during my senior year, and I’m really happy I get to continue working here full time in business development.

WHEN AND WHERE DO YOU HAVE YOUR BEST IDEAS?

Usually right before I fall asleep, which unfortunately tends to keep me up a little longer than expected.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE TIME OF DAY?

I love nighttime, when the day’s responsibilities are done and I can watch a movie and fully unwind or hangout with friends and family.

WHAT IS THE MOST MEANINGFUL PART OF YOUR JOB?

The most meaningful part of my job is getting to collaborate with different teams and build relationships with the awesome people around me.
