In 2017, I graduated as a History student, knowing nothing about the world of PR, SEO or Marketing. All I knew was that I wanted a career that would be exciting, fast-paced, creative and a place I could create great work alongside other people. ✨ Nearly 8 years later, I'm super excited to be promoted to Head of Digital PR at Kaizen ✨ A lot has happened in that time. I've learnt probably the most important lesson of all which is how to tell a good story, whether that's pitching to a journalist, coming up with creative ideas or presenting insights to showcase gaps and opportunities to a client. I've also walked around a village swabbing people's gaming consoles, built team structures, worked with household brands, run training sessions, built up my SEO knowledge, dipped my toe in public speaking, learnt how to report on bottom-line impact, created cross-channel campaigns, had a go at outbound sales in the US and also squeezed in six months of travelling and a 3 month stint working in New York. I'm so grateful for all the amazing support I've had at Kaizen - a special thank you to Calvin Green, Kristi Hoyle, Amy Podrasky, Jeremy McDonald, Felina Tan, Pete Campbell and Grace Ivings (was Hartnett) We'll see what the next 8 years bring 🚀
