One of the strangest things in this industry is how invisible your work can feel sometimes. You pour weeks into a project, the final product goes live, and… your name isn’t mentioned anywhere. It can be frustrating, but also kind of funny how often it happens. Have you ever had a moment where you were proud of something but couldn’t point to your name on it?

Yes! And when you don't even make the homepage or the socials!

Ahh yes the usual putting in all the hard work just to be left unnoticed

Oh yes, the classic ghost credit. I once saw my work reshared by a client as if it had magically appeared from nowhere. You learn to celebrate quietly, even if no one else knows it was you

Oh yes I’ve been there… it’s always the work that required the most effort too

I completely get that. So much of what we do goes unseen, but it still matters. You should still feel proud — those projects wouldn’t exist without your hard work

This is what I repeatedly tell my team, the most important thing is that they’re proud of their own work
