Feedback and Encouragement
Patrick Ottenhoff | [email protected]
“Your Facebook ad might be the very first ad I ever clicked on”
“I’m in the field of digital metrics, so you
got my attention!”
“Definitely shows ambition and passion for your line of work.” “I’m an Alumnus of Kenan-
Flagler’s OneMBA program – 2008. Love your social media connection idea.”
“I saw your ad on Facebook and thought it was a really
innovative idea."
“That was pretty cool dude. Well done.”
Advice and Networking
Patrick Ottenhoff | [email protected]
“I’m forwarding the link to a few folks in the K-F office to let them
know I saw it and how it drew my attention immediately. ”
“I did like UNC. It’s great for entrepreneurship if you want to take some of this energy and start
something for yourself.”
“The best professor I had around marketing metrics would be Charlotte
Mason. There are some great innovation professors too that might dabble in the Web 2.0 world, so try
Arvind Malhotra.”
“Seems like you would make a great addition to the
school, especially if you were willing to lend your talents /
experience to some of the clubs … like the MarComm
Advisory Board.”
