I just started the process of creating my own brand in order to get serious with my carreer. I currently am pursuing a Advertising degree, and broooooooooooooooooooootheeer it sucks ass.
I feel sooo desmotivated, but I went to my therapist and DANG SHE DO MAKE GOOD USE OF MY MONEY, she told me that I could target a certain group to provide them with services. honestly I LOVE IT.
it got me excited enough to see what am lacking, and to see what am not. While am a creative type of soul, I do struggle a lot at the moment as I been working to survive and not working to grow my carreer. this si honestly awful, but so true. If you are not born in a golden spoon type of situation, you will have to push harder. Saying that, i want you to know that you can do this, and everything is possible.
Id on't have resources, period. however I'm pushing with what I can and what I have, i don't feel like a fool when am doing creative stuff but I do feel like a fool when am doing customer service dang I hate ppl honestly and a kind specifically but that's too controversial.
Anywas, I wanted to share how am literally starting a business lol, and so do you. Is ALL about the LITTLE things, belive me.
OF COURSE, i will appreciate all the support and clients you guys can provide me with jijiji but that will be for another post.
THANK YOU FOR READING < 3

you honestly might be better finding a contract gig or a more full time corporate or agency position, though you’ll have a harder time landing interviews without any experience or a portfolio.
honestly, make work up. seriously! pick a local business or a brand and create your own campaigns for them. redo an existing campaign that you think could be better or come up with something entirely unique. You could blog about that process.
figure out what niche of writing you want—technical is very different from marketing which can be different from social media which is not the same as PR.
challenge yourself to rewrite every piece of material you come across — emails, flyers, commercial scripts.
find local businesses that may be looking for “creative“ or “marketing” help.
I’m a copywriter rn, I feel your struggle! DM me if you have more qs 💖

I work in social media and marketing. I don’t have a team I do everything for this small business owner on my own... create content, manage several social platforms, create copy for emails, design email templates, send out emails, come up with new ideas for events and etc. I do all of these things and when I think about looking for another job I feel so inadequate because I didn’t finish school. Sure I took a few marketing courses, did an internship but I didn‘t walk across the stage. Now I feel like the biggest imposter.. Like should I go back to school just so it can say that I went to school.. IDK 😀

I’m applying to a new role internally at my company that a colleague thinks I would be a great fit for. It would be a significant step up in my responsibilities and pay + I wouldn’t have to hustle as much as I do and could work less long hours… regardless of how this application goes that’s a huge goal for me just in general! I want to quit my self-employed work with an agency I absolutely hate in a field that I’ve never enjoyed but pursued out of convenience/necessity.
I’m a generalist with good analytical decision-making skills and can do pretty much anything if I sit down and take the time to learn it (I keep surprising myself with what I can do!) so hopefully some of the efforts I’ve put in this year will pay off in seeking a career pivot.
Would love to have more leisure time and to dedicate more effort to my creative pursuits. Going back to therapy might be a good idea because I‘ve made significant progress in a lot of areas but could use help in others. I also want to umm decorate my house more and probably replace most of my wardrobe…

Having a crush at work is wild. I’ve decided to keep it as just that—a crush—which means absolutely no interactions with this person. I want to stay focused at work, but let me be clear: it doesn’t make them any less BEAUTIFUL.
Sometimes, I let myself steal a glance, feeling that thrilling rush while thinking, “What if they can tell how I feel just by looking at my eyes?”And then, of course, the terrifying follow-up: “What if the answer is yes?!” It’s pure chaos in my head.
But here’s the kicker —I recently found out he has a girlfriend. When I heard that, believe me, I wanted to evaporate on the spot. But I couldn’t, because, of course, it’s just a crush 😞
So now, here I am: heartbroken over someone I’ve never spoken to and never will speak to.
