Welcome to the team, Anna
WELCOME TO THE TEAM, ANNA!
You may have noticed many new faces joining the UNBXD team over the last 2 months. We have been very fortunate to be able to expand our talented team and broaden our offerings across a multitude of industries. To all our clients & partners, we want to say thank you.
Today we wanted to put the spotlight on our new Digital Marketing Assistant, Anna!
TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF:
Hi, my name is Anna! My love for digital started when I joined Myspace. Tinkering with anchor and style tags to personalise my profile was an introduction to code as a means to solving a problem, to expressing something about myself, or to just experimenting and seeing what happened. To some extent, MySpace was my gateway to the addictive social networking platforms that are now a ubiquitous feature of our lives. I later joined Tumblr and realised that the Internet is not only a great source for entertainment and information, it is also bringing people all over the world together into communities, and pushes things forward with creativity. I fell in love, and as many young people my age I was amazed by the endless possibilities of the web, it truly became a significant part of my life.
In 2015 I moved to the UK to study PR & digital communications. I loved the academic environment, and I believe in terms of my personal growth, it was the most influential period of my life. I felt so much energy and motivation that I joined a communications agency as a volunteer a few months into my course and never stopped working in the industry ever since. Later, I worked as a marketing project coordinator, freelance marketer and social media manager for clients in beauty, IT, entertainment, fashion and more. I believe marketing is a natural fit for me because it is a beautiful coexistence of analytics, innovation and creativity, and I’m all about it!
WHAT MOTIVATES YOU OUTSIDE OF WORK?
Usually, very simple things that help me to be present. I like slow Sunday breakfasts and coffee, walks by the beach, visiting my family, reading (right now it’s “Invisible Women - Exploring data bias in a world designed for men” by Caroline Criado Perez- highly recommend), watching documentaries, cooking. I recently bought some modelling clay, so maybe pottery will become another hobby of mine.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO AT UNBXD?
I am excited about the agency environment because I enjoy getting to know the clients from various industries and finding solutions to issues that are very specific to them with the tools that I know. To some extent, it’s similar to solving a puzzle, where people who might have never met are working towards a common goal. I also feel UNBXD provides a great opportunity to “exercise influence” with real responsibility and make a difference in an autonomous way, where the wellbeing of employees is a priority. Even though the team in the agency is cross-sector, the combination of individual skillsets creates awesome possibilities for growth, both collective and individual.
