5Career Advice From Women in the Marketing Industry
- Carine Visagie, Head of Marketing and Strategy
- My philosophy is always to keep learning and
moving. You might not find the perfect job right
at the start, but learn what you can and then,
when you start feeling that youre stagnating,
look for the next opportunity. - As long as you keep learning and work on
improving your skills, youre heading in the
right direction. After a few years, youll start
seeing how every opportunity (even the
frustrating ones) helped to shape your
experience. - Its also critical to do what you enjoy and
stick to work environments aligned with your
values. Every job will have good and bad days,
but youll survive the bad ones if you believe in
what youre doing.
6- Rodith Gabas, Project Manager
- You have to be passionate about what you are
doing and always be open to learning new things.
Tech and Marketing are the future of all
businesses, so you should remain open to
upskilling innovative ways to help your
business/client grow.
7- Bianca Tolentino, Sales Operations Analyst
- My career advice to young women who, like
myself, are new to the tech and marketing field
is to prioritise building your skills and
knowledge through education, training, and
hands-on experience. - I personally invested time in building my skills
and knowledge through various online courses and
workshops. Seeking out mentorship and guidance
from experienced professionals in the industry
can also be incredibly valuable, as they can

your comfort zone, be open to new opportunities,
and be proactive in seeking new challenges and
experiences. - Trust your abilities and instincts, and dont

8- Nirvana Peters, Content Editor
- My career tip is to speak up. Dont be afraid to
voice those thoughts that deserve to be heard.
The validation of seeing heads nodding in
agreement or tilting in consideration of your
contribution undoubtedly supersedes the risk of
saying something incorrectly. Diverse opinions
are invaluable. - Nows the time to put yourself out there. Show
that youre a powerful team member who is an
innovative resource of fresh ideas and
unparalleled enthusiasm.

change. Its a constantly evolving field the
quicker you adapt, the more you progress.
