Year 2021 - The Topsy-Turvy

 2021 !!! It’s been a dramatic year. I’ve been broken, disappointed, strong and flying all in 1 year. 


Last year I decided to rock my corporate comfort and leave my role as Digital Manager with one of the topmost agency’s PHD Media in a quest to explore my potential , build more skill sets broader beyond media agency to media partner.


Became the 1st Head of Digital at a new media house , Mx24 TV which promised to revolutionize the content business. 

Yes, all the content  you experienced from MX in the first 6months was generated by a small, constrained but dynamic team I had the honor of leading. Exciting times it was.


6months into the journey the business was struggling in revenue generation and asked I joined the Sales and Marketing Team given my agency background. 


That was tough  and challenging times to my mental fortitude and motivation to work not because I couldn’t do S&M but amongst other things it wasn’t my personal career plan for the now and also it was a step lower from HOD to Manager . 


After few weeks  of seeking external and internal counsel I decided to put on my shield of faith and soldier on. Over the next few weeks i had found a new love , I felt like a bird which had been let loose. Sales in a Covid era was  freedom, freedom from the shackles of long sleeve and tie , 8-5pm bound to a desk , long hours running campaigns and staring at dashboards to optimize, generating reports and defending  results. 


Rather it had opened me up to meet amazing clients, given me enough time for my personal development and within 11 months I had generated  revenue in excess of 360K for the business. 


Lesson: Never doubt your abilities, The God of all grace is all you need. 


In November this same year I dropped my MX tools and went Out-there, literally. 


Meet my new family, Out There Media.
