How I got into marketing and why I love it
I get asked too often than not why I’m a marketer, and there’s a good reason for it.

I’ve always adored well-executed adverts and marketing campaigns. I was the odd kid who could sing along to most TV and radio ad jingles, and would take my time dissecting a good full-page magazine ad. With that in mind, it’s really not a surprise that I would find myself drifting towards the world of digital marketing when it came to settling on a career. Among some of my first online marketing jobs were ad hoc style paid search engine and social media ad management positions that paid very little but helped me gain a deep understanding of the field as a whole.
