If you had asked me in my younger years, I'd have said something like "I'm good at A, B, and C, but not exceptional at any of them." ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Here's a few examples..
๐ I played football up to a very good semi-professional youth level, but never any further.
๐ I drew well, but I didn't become artist
๐ I was one of the fastest 100m and 200m sprinters in the county, but I didn't compete at a higher level
Today, I realise that this has made me a 'T-Shaped Marketer'. But, what is a T-Shaped Marketer I hear you ask?
I'm a generalist with a broad marketing knowledge (the top of the T), combined with a deep understanding in one or two areas (the bottom of the T).
What this means?
โ
I can work on strategy
โ
I can work on paid ads
โ
I can work on copy
โ
I can work on content
โ
I can work on design
โ
I can work on operations
Etc. Etc.
I always focus on execution rather than procrastination, and if I don't know how to do something, I'll learn and take that skill forward.
Currently, I'm heading up marketing for Selligence, a software development start-up based in Cardiff. At Selligence, we use predictive intelligence to find our customers leads before their competition.
Fancy a chat, drop me a message! ๐ฌ
