In the beginning, I was just a common Advertising executive with no experience.
Everyone wondered how I had skipped the trainee step to become an executive because back then being a trainee was the first step (it actually still is). But somehow, I had been hired above my peers and others who had come before me.
Didn't take me long to realise that things didn't work that way everywhere though and there was a price to pay for perceived favouritism.
Didn't also help that I wasn't very good with being social and preferred my own company.
Fast forward a couple of months into the first job, I applied for leave, took my leave allowance and went to makeup school.
Although that action was predicated on an entirely different mental standpoint, it was the beginning of my foray into being a Corporate Creative, blogging and eventually, how this 'hobby' of mine would spiral to become an invaluable tool for the sustenance of brands in the future.
Welcome to the little space in my head that never keeps quiet.
