Join us in welcoming Marisa Bingham to the Marketing Support Staff. Marisa is a Mass Communications and Public Relations major entering her junior year at Boston University and we’re delighted to have her on the team. With an engaging writing style, a proclivity for picking great reads, and a fondness for chocolate, she fits right in here at Millennium.
To learn more about Marisa, her love of marketing, and how she’d pass the time on a desert island, check out her interview below.
MB: I was originally drawn to Millennium Integrated Marketing for their emphasis on brand marketing. I learned that Millennium also specializes in content development, website design, and ROI measurement. I was eager to learn these new skills from their internship program.
What about marketing excites you?
MB: I love the idea of helping someone establish a brand, product, or service through innovation and creative thinking. Marketing allows you to work with many different people with many different perspectives. I want to be exposed to those diversities in order to develop new, unconventional strategies.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
MB: Ideally, I’d really like to be living in a southern city doing corporate PR. I’d also like to own a cat and, hopefully, frequent the gym a lot more than I do now.
Favorite hobby/thing to do when you’re not hitting the books?
MB: Besides singing really loudly in my car, I’m an actress on BUTV’s (and America’s longest-running college soap opera), Bay State.
What’s your favorite thing to do in New Hampshire?
MB: Hiking! Or anything outdoorsy.
What’s your favorite movie?
MB: Legally Blonde (No shame.)
What’s your favorite book?
MB: The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien
If you were stuck on a desert island, what’s the one album you’d want to have with you?
MB:Taylor Swift’s Red album (Again, no shame.)
Favorite candy bar?
MB: Milky Way
Favorite cereal?
MB: I don’t eat cereal, but if I had to pick I’d go with Rice Krispy Treat cereal. It’s essentially a dessert in milk.
What color is the dress: white and gold or blue and black?
MB: DEFINITELY white and gold.
If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
MB: Bagels.
If you could have dinner with one famous person, living or dead, who would it be and why?
MB: Jane Goodall! I used to be obsessed with her and her study of chimpanzees when I was little. I’ve read all of her books at least once. My life goal is to meet her!
Top three places in the world you’d like to visit?
MB: The Pyramids in Egypt, Macchu Picchu in Peru, Mt. Kilimanjaro in Kenya
Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck? Please explain.
MB: Hmm… I’d have to say 100 duck-sized horses only because I’m really short. I need the height advantage over my opponent, otherwise, I’d get trampled in a second.
