About me
Even from an early age, I wanted to pursue a career in the field of public relations and advertising, since I believe that it offers a very challenging and creative environment at the same time. In my live academic environment I was able to choose between a variety of diverse and immensely fascinating courses. All these years I have been attending a multiplicity of conferences and lectures in order to enhance my knowledge and understanding about the world, especially concerning the economy and the international relations between the countries. I find my-self utterly interested in 'contemporary' advertising methods that create holistic prospects of an object, issue, company, country and even idea. Ultimately, I take pleasure in the idea of applying my knowledge and enthusiasm for advertising in all aspects of this work.
During my second year of studies, I was given the opportunity to work as external fellow worker at the political office of Mr Ioannis Vouros, member of the Greek Parliament. It was a really fascinating experience, since it provided a secure environment for my first exposure to the notion of work and a sort of apprenticeship into how politics and international relations work. Concerning my work experience for a Greek advertising agency, 7indigo, I used to be responsible for the campaign "Bring them back" in the department of Account Management and Planning. In this position, I was in charge of the social media accounts concerning the campaign. Moreover, I was responsible for contacting a number of celebrities, either by email or by telephone, asking them to support this campaign.
I am attracted to advertising since this field incorporates techniques, methods, ways of thinking and approaches from many others sciences. Moreover, advertising is a challenging, fast - developing and competitive field, where rapid changes demand equally rapid decision - making. I enjoy this kind of challenge, where communication is intense and where dynamic collaboration with others is a must.
My primary expectations from such a career are to be able to enjoy and exploit the attractions I have detailed above because when one enjoys one's work and its demands, one can best optimize results. In the future I would really like to work in many different companies, in order to acquire experience and have the opportunity to learn in practice how different marketing cases are being solved.
On a personal level, I feel that I have been extremely privileged in my upbringing, my education, my initial opportunities for work and social life. Now, I see this job as a further opportunity to acquire the proper methods and tools in the field that I have chosen, in order to be able to apply them to a career that I want so much to carry out.
