Extremely Quick 6 months
Today marks 6 months to the day of me joining EQ Design. What started as a message through LinkedIn to ask if I was interested in the position quickly snowballed into a couple of cups of coffee before talking things through with EQ properly. I bit their arm off and did what I had to do to make this move a reality. That 6 months have already past has caught me a bit by surprise. It's very clear that I've been enjoying it.
It was obvious even before I officially started that i'd made the best career decision yet. I found myself on an EQ night and quickly discovered that this was going to be brilliant. Even Stewart's singing couldn't put a dampener on things. When I did start officially, I was given free reign to make digital my own and build it into the best it could be for EQ. From those early days to today, I am backed fully and given all the support, advice and opportunity I could ever hope for. The team works as one, we work hard and we party hard. Within the first 3 weeks of being here, i'd already had more nights out that the previous year at another agency. The importance of regular social outings away from work is absolutely key to building a team that cares about each other and listens to each other. No job is entirely plain sailing, every position i've had has had its fair share of issues to deal with and life at EQ is no different. What is different though is an absolute resolve to do what is best for the client by way of open communication, transparency and a lack of any internal blame culture. I see a very bright future for EQ, we continue to put vital elements in place, collectively learn cross discipline skills and grow where we need to. We are determined to be better, determined to succeed and determined to enjoy ourselves while we do it. We're a little bit different and maybe a little bit quirky. We have bags of personality, bags of talent and years of experience. We will surprise you. This has unquestionably been the highlight of my career. Thanks to all at EQ for making me so welcome.
