Marketing Associate, Partner Programs at Digiday

🎓 Reflecting on My First Year Post-College: As I mark one year since graduating and six months into my role as a Marketing Associate at Digiday. Here are some lessons I’ve learned that might resonate with others navigating the early stages of their careers: 1. Embrace Mistakes as Learning Opportunities 🌟 I’ve always strived for perfection and dreaded making mistakes, but I’ve come to realize that mistakes are an essential part of growth. It's inevitable, and often the fastest way to learn. 2. Finding the Right Job Takes Time ⏳ It took me six months to find a role that felt like the right fit. I’ve learned that it’s okay to be selective and hold out for opportunities that align with your goals and values. I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve found at Digiday and the alignment it has brought to my career aspirations. 3. Remote Work Can Foster Strong Connections 🌐 Working remotely can sometimes feel isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. I’m fortunate to be part of a team where everyone is incredibly kind and welcoming. Our HR team (aka Andrea Sontz) works hard to keep us connected through monthly calls, weekly icebreaker chats, and other initiatives. Finding the right company and people can make remote work a fulfilling and engaging experience. 4. Ask Questions 🤔 Don’t hesitate to ask questions—there’s no such thing as a dumb question. You’re surrounded by experienced people who have valuable insights to share. Seeking clarity not only helps you do your job better but also shows your eagerness to learn and grow. 5. Celebrate Small Wins 🏆 Amidst the daily tasks, it’s easy to overlook small victories. At Digiday, we use Nectar to recognize and celebrate achievements. There’s no better feeling than receiving a shoutout and Nectar points for helping out a colleague or hitting a goal. It’s a fantastic way to stay motivated and appreciated. #CareerGrowth #Marketing #RemoteWork #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerLessons
