Last Friday, AMA members hopped on a bus and travelled to Chicago to tour the marketing offices of Red Frog Events, Pandora Radio, and Coyote Logistics.

We started off early, leaving downtown Grand Rapids at about 6:30 AM and arriving in the city at 9:30 AM (Chicago Time).
Our first stop was Red Frog Events, famous for hosting the Warrior Dash. Interns Sam and Jackson told us all about their internship experiences with Red Frog, gave us a tour of the office (which included a functioning bar, a conference room with swings instead of seats, and a tree house complete with a slide), and told us about what Red Frog does and how they started. Every member also received snacks, beverages, and a free t-shirt (thanks, Red Frog!).

After Red Frog, AMA took the bus to our next stop: Coyote Logistics, where we were first fed delicious Potbelly salads and sandwiches before difference staff members introduced themselves and told us a little about what they do with client and carrier operations. Everyone was also given a little Coyote Logistics goodie bag as we headed out.
Our last stop of the day was Pandora Radio's Chicago headquarters, located in the Tribune Tower. There we learned about what Pandora does concerning advertising, client relations, internships, and "The Music Genome Project." Afterwards, members had some free time to shop and explore the city before everyone headed as a group to iCream, a specialty ice cream shop in Chicago that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze their sweet concoctions.
