Hello Friends!

During the course of my marketing program, I fell in love with so many aspects of this realm- brainstorming, creating, discovering, and following my little creations through to fruition. Then there were those classes that a few (a lot) cups of coffee and a miracle helped me through- I’m talking to you research classes! Now that’s not to say that I don’t understand the importance of these subjects. In fact I find the results incredibly interesting and helpful. But numbers and inputting aren’t really my jam. So what is? Well. I love creating solutions. Social media is one of my favourite platforms for marketing, with small business being my favourite clients. Great. Then I graduated, and I’m sorry but wtf happens now? It’s daunting!

While I tried not to put too much pressure on myself those around me had a different plan. “What now?” “Are you looking for work?” “What do you want to do?” Honest answers? I have no idea, not really, and travel and play with photography. But I went on a few interviews just to placate people, and something weird happened- nothing felt right. Enter more unsolicited feedback from others: “you never love your first job, take what you can get”. Well friends, that’s just not what I wanted to do. I want to love my job.

Fast-forward 8 months, 4 trips, and some serious life loving strewn with great conversation involving amazing people and I’m here. I’m doing marketing the way I want which is the real reason I love this industry- it’s boundless.

Websites, social media, blogs, web-ads, SEO. This is the space I want to be in, and along with a few friends it’s time to start freelancing! I’m practicing what I preach by doing the same for myself while I document this journey, so stay tuned for more.

Bye friends!
