NYC Creative Director leaves clients and staff in NYC, moves to Kabul to help establish the first communication agency in the country since before the Taliban. Is she a sadist, uniquely qualified for the task, or simply and blindly optimistic?

On June 21 at 7 pm in The One Club Gallery, Sharoz Makarechi of Think Tank 3, recently back from the trenches, will share advertising stories from war-torn Afghanistan and discuss the value of ideas, cross media thinking, and creative communication campaigns in a society struggling to recover from over 25 years of war.

That would be my friend Sharoz. It’s hard to put into words how much I respect and admire her courage. I feel lucky to know such an exceptional person.

Update: Kabob!
