Why I Create Content & Resources Online
My career journey was (and sometimes still is 😅) lonely and involved a lot of trial and error. There was no playbook to follow so I'm sharing what I wish existed.
When I went on maternity leave in 2019, I took the first 'off-work' time in my life to start sharing my learnings from building a marketing career on YouTube. Everything that I wish existed when I was trying to figure it out.
My channel grew from 0 to 20K before the leave was over. A lot of it thanks to the Day In The Life of A Marketing Manager video which was the first one published on YouTube at the time.
I haven't stopped sharing since.
My motto?
I share my learnings of building a career in marketing so you can shortcut your way to success.
I was recently asked what my north star is and this was my answer:
"As an avid seeker of ikigai, I've always leaned into areas where I could leverage my skills and give back to wider communities around me. My Youtube journey as a content creator and my founder journey has been fuelled by the same driver: How can I make it easier for others?"
