The Interns of #teamME!
MEET CAM HOUSEHOLDER
Welcome to #teamME! Tell us a little about yourself.
I am from Lewis Center, Ohio and currently attend The Ohio State University as a strategic communications major with a minor in legal foundations. I love to read and write as well as run, swim, and go on road trips with my housemates. My biggest loves are my two adorable puppies, Gunner and Oliver, my family, coffee and the Madewell blog.
OK, now it’s time for some rapid fire.
If you could have a cup of coffee with anyone, who would it be? Urban Meyer or Eleanor Roosevelt
What’s your spirit animal? A bird – when I was in elementary school my dream job was to be an ornithologist (bird scientist) at Cornell. Oh, how things change, but I still love how happy & resilient those little guys are.
What was your first email address? (Don’t be shy.) camohouse@hotmail.com because my dad used to call me Camouflage. It could’ve been a lot worse.
What was your first job? I was a lifeguard (AKA glorified janitor) and swim instructor at North Orange Pool.
What’s the next country you want to travel to? Italy to study abroad! * fingers crossed *
If you were a Crayola crayon, what would your name be? My all time favorite Crayola color is called Macaroni and Cheese and its this super happy yellow and the name says it all. They say you are what you eat, right?
Where did you go to college? THE Ohio State University (GO BUCKS)
Phew. What a doozy. Catch your breath and tell us what you do at MurphyEpson.
I help manage social media accounts for some of our clients and after that whatever anyone at the agency needs help with!
What do you do outside of work?
Outside of work most of my time is spent studying, working on the executive board of my sorority, running, swimming, playing flag football (poorly) and hanging out at any of the coffee houses in the Short North with my housemates and a pile of homework.
You’ve got one day in Columbus. What do you do?
Wow…only one day? Wake up early and run the Olentangy trail, then go to Misson Coffee House with a good book. Once I’ve OD’d on Carmel lattes, go to Tiger Tree for my shopping fix and hit Brassica for lunch. Of course I would have to squeeze in The Columbus Park of Roses and then dinner with my housemates at The Pearl.
What’s one piece of advice you would give to an agency newcomer?
Smile and don’t be afraid to be yourself (cliché I know). Everyone is here because they have something valuable to say.
Give us a note you’d like to end on.

MEET COLIN CAVANAUGH
Welcome to #teamME! Tell us a little about yourself.
OK, now it’s time for some rapid fire.
If you could have a cup of coffee with anyone, who would it be? I’d have to say Dave Grohl. I’m sure it’d be an awesome conversation, as I have plenty of questions for him. The man also drinks coffee like it’s water, so I’m confident we’d have more than one cup.
What’s your spirit animal? A dog. Dogs are the greatest blessing we as humans have and we should strive to pet each and every one.
What was your first job? I was a cashier at Cici’s Pizza.
What’s the next country you want to travel to? I’ve always wanted to travel Europe, and if I had to pick one country it’d be Ireland
If you were a Crayola crayon, what would your name be? Cerulean Blue; it’s the color of a clear blue sky on a nice day!
Where did you go to college? I did my first year at Ohio University, and I am currently enrolled at Columbus State with the intention of transferring to The Ohio State University next fall to pursue an English degree.
Phew. What a doozy. Catch your breath and tell us what you do at MurphyEpson.
I mostly do research for social media and blog posts and I have gotten my go at writing a few myself. I’ve done a range of work from designing graphics to coming up with slogans for clients. I also do other “intern-related” tasks that have helped me get my feet wet in an office setting.
What do you do outside of work?
I mostly write music or spend time with my girlfriend, friends or family. Going to concerts is one of my favorite things to do, and I love spending my time with animals and exploring the different parks and nature around Columbus.
You’ve got one day in Columbus. What do you do?
I’d start with a chicken and waffle breakfast at Hangover Easy, then I’d take my pick of Columbus’ many metro parks such as Highbanks, Rocky Fork or Glacier Ridge. After a few hours of exploration, I’d grab lunch from a Chipotle or Bibibop and head to a record store or a guitar shop. I’d then continue to shop at an Urban Outfitters before having dinner from any place that can serve up a good burger. Ideally I’d finish the night with a concert or a Blue Jackets game before going home to watch Netflix with a bowl (or 2) of ice cream.
What’s one piece of advice you would give to an agency newcomer?
It seems like a lot at first, and it can be, but one thing that I’ve learned is that a drink of water and a quick stretch can do your mind wonders. I try to write in the style that people like to read and I try to have fun with coming up with slogans. Don’t be afraid to voice your ideas or add your own touch to something!
