-: I definitely enjoy the communication aspect to it.
So our marketing firm is very small
and because it's very small,
it's easier to communicate with people.
I did come from a large non-profit
where communication was a little bit nuance
and so, I took those nuance skills,
I learned from that large non-profit and I'm able to utilize
them here in a smaller agency and I think that there's
this misconception that writers are very quiet people
and introverted and they can be, right?
But I'm clearly an example of one who's not
and that allows me to harness and convince people
about my skills and what I can provide for them.
And so, it goes a long way, communication goes a long way
when it comes to the working environment and being able
to articulate your own thoughts.
I think the biggest challenge in my job is convincing people
of ideas and certain ways to execute things
or what they should look like,
I work in what is known as creative.
I'm a creative writer, a copywriter, marketing, advertising,
and it's hard to convince a client and even my own boss
at times, like, this is what it should be.
When they feed the question back, why?
It's having to have that answer prepared
or being okay with the compromise.
