Draft of FDR’s “Day of Infamy” Speech. December 7, 1941.
A few hours after learning of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt dictated a short address to be delivered to a Joint Session of Congress the following day.
His handwritten revisions—visible in this December 7 draft of the speech—made the “Day of Infamy” speech one of the most memorable in American history.
Read more about the drafting of this significant speech.

We ran an incredible photo essay about Pearl Harbor last year. Check it out.
Had to post this, because it is so extraordinary.

So, the last agency I visited was Code and Theory. I WAS SO BLOWN AWAY. It is everything I want to do and be wrapped up in a little agency located in NYC and San Francisco. They mainly have fashion, publishing, and consumer clients. Michael Martin and Kelly Meyers took us through their campaign of DuJour, a luxury magazine. The case study video is attached, so please give it a watch!
This is their website. It will rock your socks off. Guaranteed. I’m such a geek.
I am still in the New York state of mind, and still super excited to be studying and doing what I do. Cake Group was another agency I visited that fueled my passion. Cake was started in the UK by three men who wanted to do with differently, and now they have offices in New York, UK, Boston, and Paris. Cake Group doesn’t describe themselves as a public relations agency, but there is some PR attached to every project. They want to “create ideas that can be socialized” and pioneer experiential marketing where “ideas are incorporated into the lives of the consumers”. What they do is spread the word through amplification and earned media like this:
event attendees talk about event promotions and the content from the event goes on to social media and bloggers and the online influence gather press and there you go. PR for the win.
Here’s a case study of Vitamin Water

During my NYC trip, I visited BBDO, where to my surprise, a lot of UNL alumn work! I had no idea. But, on to more important matters: I met amazing people, with amazing careers, and it inspired me to keep on working in the advertising industry where the creativity keeps on flowing.
BBDO New York produced this gem of a video, you’ll probably recognize it!
Here’s their website
I had the incredibly opportunity to meet Griffin from The Concept Farm, an expatriate of J. Walter Thompson, and an account executive (and UNL alumn) Jessica Williams. The Concept Farm is a “hybrid advertising agency, production company, digital and entertainment group.” The are an amazing video production agency and shoot for clients about 250 days out the year ( I couldn’t give you the exact number, but I think that’s right).
Their clients include Estee Lauder, the author James Patterson, Windstream, Thomas Reuters and so much more.

I would just like to brag about the fact that I got the chance to visit the amazing advertising agency, Tribal DDB NYC, that created this 2011 Superbowl commercial and talk to the account executive, Jon Kovalcik.
Tribal DDB literally blew my mind. Their motto is: “Bringing humanity to the digital age” which is incredibly relevant to the art of advertising. To make people emotionally moved about concrete items is difficult, but Tribal DDB do it with such ease.
I also had the chance to meet Seth Friedman, an account planner, who’s mind works in incredibly ways, along with Leanne Prewitt and Ryan Sorensen, both creatives who graduated from UNL! Go Huskers!
Here’s their website to get a better look about Tribal DDB
