Inside Advertising's New Sober Industry Support Network
Posted in: UncategorizedIn 2014, Ian Mirmelstein’s life was a mess.
The now senior-VP of digital engagement at Adspace was in a crumbling marriage, and using drugs and alcohol to cope. An intervention got him into recovery and now, three years sober, Mormelstein is looking to do the same for other industry professionals (this is, after all, one of the soggiest professions).
Earlier this year Mirmelstein launched SEAM, Sober Executives in Advertising, Media & Marketing, a community for industry professionals who choose not to drink or do drugs — and are looking for like-minded individuals with whom they can connect.
