It is hard to believe that I have been working full-time at 360i for 1 year. I often joke when I get the message to updated my email password saying, “Yay! I’ve made it another 90 days.” This month my supervisor turned to me and said, ” Marissa, if you’re proud that you’ve made it another 3 months then we are clearly giving you the wrong impression.”
I can’t help but swell up with pride and happiness when I think about the year I’ve had. To say I’ve learned a lot would be a remarkable understatement. I’m so thrilled with the journey that has brought me to where I am today. Beginning as a trainee 2 months out of college at a company that not only values innovative thinking, but continuous learning was true blessing. The company culture was a huge player in fostering this year of growth. My first six months included working on two complete different accounts, providing me with diverse experience I could bring with me as I took on my permanent position in September. I’m grateful for everyone who not only noticed my hard work, determination and passion for advertising, but also saw my potential and rooted for me along the way.
Each day I feel privileged to not only do a job that I love and feel rewarded by, but also do it along side a team that inspires me to be the best. I could leave the office after a 12-hour workday with a smile on my face. I never feel defeated by my work, and always look for ways to do something better than before.
To another amazing year of doing what I love with people that inspire me.
