And you can also hear some anecdotes. Nasrin Vahdani talks about her internship at Century Media in Los Angeles, which she actually only took on out of necessity. She talks about her first days working at Spinefarm, in which she had to organize turbulent promotional appearances for the Ghost singer Tobias Forge, but whose costumes were lost on the flight. She also looks back at how online marketing budgets were allocated and measured in the past and how well-founded these tasks can be today.
