I’ve been a full time freelancer for 15 years. I’ve worked with over 100 household brands.
I got my first job at uni for local businesses. Then I moved back home and applied to a social media company who had just been purchased by a big multinational marketing company. They were expanding fast and needed staff. I got a job on Renault, a now defunct newspaper and H&M.
The rest is history. I’m actually about to launch a podcast interviewing other social media people about the brands they’re working on / platforms / learnings etc.
