Liz (Underwood) Drouin, BJ '03

What do you do?
I work at DraftFCB in Chicago as an account executive on the Herradura and El Jimador tequila brands.

How did you get your job?
Through a former client. Previously, I worked on the Jack Daniel's account, and one of my clients moved over to work on the tequila brands. He recommended me to DraftFCB when I moved to Chicago from Boston.

What advice do you have for current students?
Network! Be nice and work to impress everyone...you never know how those old relationships can come back to help you (and hopefully not hurt you)!

What is your favorite J-School memory?
When my class project (with partner Melissa Hillebrenner, BJ '03) was chosen to be produced into an actual TV commercial for Nokia. It was produced through collaboration with The Richards Group in Dallas and aired all over TV, including on American Idol.
