Who Am I?
 
My place of birth is: 
Allentown, Pennsylvania
 
My hobbies are: 
Anything that drives, floats or flies.
 
The last good book I read was: 
The Wright Brothers by David McCullough.
 
Device I couldn't live without: 
The obvious answer is my iPhone. The runner-up answer is snap ring pliers (see a answer below).    
 
My greatest accomplishment outside my profession: 
My awesome wife and I raised a 14 and 11-year-old who still think we're somewhat cool. And...restoring a 1963 Jeep CJ5 from the frame up, bolt by bolt. Teaching myself about auto mechanics, bodywork and electrical wiring along the way thanks to YouTube. Completion date targeted for summer of '17.    
 
The reason I got into advertising/marketing: 
I love to observe the creative process and see how it's able to change perceptions and attitudes about people, places and things. It's also cool to see it happen in various market segments - the reason I prefer the agency side of the business vs. the client side.    
 
Biggest influences on me professionally: 
Ernie Perich and Steve Hanson. Ernie taught me that in this industry, when everyone is zigging, you should zag. And Steve demonstrated to me that great business acumen and kindness are keys to successful agency life.   
 
My greatest unfulfilled ambition is: 
Owning a small vineyard in Napa Valley.   
 
When nobody's looking, I like to: 
Remove and discard the Brazil nuts from Hanson's mixed nut jar. These over-sized hunks of blandness don't deserve to be in the same company as cashews, almonds, or pecans.    
 
Best thing about being an AAF Toledo member: 
This sounds clich� but it's true - Meeting like-minded people who choose to be in this crazy business we're in.    
 

I am: 
  Craig Hagenbuch
Director, Market Development

AAF Toledo Blog

How to Submit a Guest Blog Post to AAF Toledo
  
The ideal length for a post is between 850 and 1,000 words and must not have been previously published.
  
Come up with a great idea. To be considered, AAFTOL blog topics should be related to advertising, marketing and communications. Write something that you would want to read yourself.
 
Send a proposal. Send a brief proposal to [email protected]. Please do not send the full article. Keep it brief: a tentative headline; two or three sentences explaining what the blog will be about; and one sentence saying why you are qualified to write it. Based on this proposal AAFTOL will let you know within three business days whether to submit the article.
 
Write with the reader in mind. Writing for the web is different from writing for print. The best way to organize the piece is to start with a brief set-up that hooks the reader. Then organize the rest in segments. Assume the reader is busy and has a short attention span. Short paragraphs and headings within the article make it easier to read.
 
Include a brief bio at the top. Your name; the name of your company (with a link to your website); and if you've written a book relevant to the article, the title of that book with a link to the Amazon page or to your website if the book is available for sale there. If you tweet, please indicate that, and include a link to your Twitter profile page.
 
Submit the completed article. Please submit your final version by pasting into the body of an e-mail, or attach it as a Microsoft word document. Your submission will be reviewed by AAFTOL editorial board. If we have any questions, comments or concerns, we will contact you.
 
What happens next? AAFTOL will acknowledge receipt of the blog within 24 hours, and let you know within a week whether it has been accepted for publication. If it is, AAFTOL reserves the right to edit the article, including changes in the text, subheads and headline, to improve readability and maximize web traffic.
