This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing a friend and colleague, Nina C, a full-time marketing manager and the founder of her own marketing agency, Allorable. We talked about her winding career journey from aspiring to work on the Tonight Show, to launching her career in marketing and eventually her own agency.
Nina shared her personal experience of going through 2 layoffs and how those difficult moments pushed her to start her agency, while starting a new, full time role (crazy right? when does she sleep!)
What the film industry’s structure of pre-production, production and post-production taught Nina about her career likes and dislikes, and how she developed a work ethic that helped her outshine the competition later in her career.
How she pivoted from the TV industry into digital marketing during Covid when she needed to transfer her skills to something she could do working from home.
Some of our fav past career blunders; special shout out to: crying at work in the open floor plan & how to deal with terrible managers.
We ended the conversation with her valuable advice on digesting your failures to learn from them, learning to delegate, and the importance of leaning on your network for support when you need it.
Listen now on: Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.
