Moritz Life

I am happy to report that on Tuesday, December 1st, 2009 I will be starting my new job. After sending resumes to the marketing firms here in Fresno (and literally hundreds of other places around the world) my creative self-promotion finally paid off. If you have not had a chance to check out my resume landing page website, you should.

I will be working for Astone Agency, a full-service marketing firm that specializes in public outreach, enrollment, casual dining, gaming, and hospitality marketing. They are based in Fresno and have satellite offices in San Francisco, San Diego and Sacramento. The first three months will consist of a paid internship type trial period where they get to know me, and make sure I am a good fit for the company. After that I will continue on full-time. It appears I will be heading up a lot of their social media marketing efforts, which means I will be paid to use twitter/facebook/etc. I am very excited to join the team over there.

One of the selling points of Astone Agency for me is their location in downtown Fresno. I am very interested in the downtown revitalization efforts that are afoot here in Fresno, and working downtown will allow me to spend more time down there. As well, my roommate and I have decided that we want to have a more urban lifestyle and in January we will be moving to some brand new lofts in downtown Fresno, the Iron Bird Lofts. We are both very excited to make the move.
