When did you decide that marketing was the career choice for you?

I made the jump after leaving the world of journalism. I graduated, spent almost two years in the field and saw the writing on the wall as things went more digital. I wish I got in front of the online media side of things as a content creator, but I made the shift to marketing instead. The emphasis on using data to drive decisions sold me.

How about you?

Enjoyed the mix of logic and creativity is the best I can describe it. You have an ever changing strategy of how best to do things and you can sometimes get to be creative with it and can produce some really cool results. Kind of the best of both worlds for me since I’ve worked in it.
