Digital CreativeAthyna Feb 2022 - Aug 2022RemoteHere's how it went:I started off at Athyna with the enthusiasm that came from finding people I could connect with; the world is full of problems, and we wanted to do our best to solve them.Not long after I settled into the Copywriter role, my responsibilities shifted.My manager (then) helped me improve my sales copywriting and I was responsible for the brand's copy in every form, and conceptualising virtually all marketing campaigns starting from a small budget to quite a big one. (DM me for details.)I cohosted 2 company podcasts; Too Rare To Die and Good News Travelled Fast. I met some amazing entrepreneurs I'd probably never have met on my own at that time. They expanded my mind."Makes everyone comfortable in our virtual office", I paraphrase, but I was considered for Head of Remote and this was my first corporate job after years of contracting/freelancing.I revamped the old website's copy and collaborated to write the copy for the new one. Worked on SEO with my manager too.I also played a major role in sculpting our brand values & impact focus. I also made key decisions to market Athyna's suite of B2B products.After we hired a social media manager, I supervised her work and helped improve her understanding of the field. Created SOPs and marketing/content strategies for the marketing team as well.I was finally asked to spearhead marketing strategy and conceptualisation (Don Draper, hehe) and worked with the creative team to promote Athyna's crowdfunding round.Pretty good, hey? And these are just a few stories.I got burnt out a few times and tried to take breaks where necessary. After 2 years, our partnership ended politely. -

Athyna tried her best to destroy all the preconceived notions I had about jobs.It was awesome, and has made me a better employer. -
