I used to be in Advertisement for 8 years. Talking with clients, creating something nice, working together in a team of professionals, being in a creative environment, and doing many different projects at the same time. My role was project & account management. I still love this world. I like to pressure, the deadlines, the hectic, the clients, and the fact that no day is the same.
At the same time, I don’t believe in long hours anymore. I love it that I can put my time in the places I value more than work at the office. And even though I lived for a certain kind of stress (it makes you work harder and take faster decisions), it is also a toll on your body. Your body holds the stress in, even if you are not aware or feel this.
Because of this advertisement experience, I learned many things.
I remember clearly when I started my second advertisement job that my boss, at the time, sat me down and told me that I had to tie all loose ends in the project. I learned over the years to see the complete picture of all the elements that tie together to finish the project up well, like a big map or blueprint.
This skill I still use daily with every project that I am working on, seeing through all the phases from the beginning. Always 10 steps ahead in your mind. When people tell me their business idea, I have immediately a clear picture of all the steps that need to be taken and how to market it. And this all ties back to my early years in Advertisement.
