When Im not scrolling through LinkedIn or reading newsletters that land in my inbox every week I volunteer at my local Girlguiding unit fun fact I used to be a Girl Guide myself. But you can also catch me most evenings stuffing my face with cookie dough and bingewatching Disney. How did you get into marketing Did you follow a traditional route Absolutely not I studied Maths with Finance and Accounting at university and when I started my degree marketing was not on my radar as a potential career option.finance or consulting but it quickly.
Abecame clear that neither of those options was for me I joined a brand ambassador programme during my final year of uni and at the start of I started to post consistently on LinkedIn to build my personal brand. By March I started an Instagram page posting university and career tips and Mobile App Development Service tricks for students and graduates which has now rebranded to a personal branding tips and tricks page and I started doing online courses in social media marketing to upskill myself and supplement my learnings it was around this time I joined the Girls in Marketing Membership.
Now whilst all that sounds amazing there was just one teeny tiny problem I NEEDED A JOB. I was so scared of not having a job before I graduated that I just applied to every random job I could find in the hope that a company would take me on. Eventually I saw on LinkedIn that Kurogo were hiring for personal brand managers and I went all out for my application. I researched the company until I could write a book on it. I reached out to the other personal brand managers at the agency asking for interview tips. I built my portfolio the best I could sharing posts from my LinkedIn and Instagram pages. I had my interview a week after I sent my portfolio to Sam our CEO.
