Well –\u00a0somehow, it\u2019s April and I\u2019m already 2 weeks into my new role at Green Ginger Digital<\/a>. It only feels like yesterday that I was attempting (unsuccessfully) to form my hair into some sort of acceptable shape to look presentable for my interview \u2013 bring on 12th<\/sup> April by the way!<\/p>\n

It would be impossible for me to detail everything I\u2019ve learned during the last fortnight \u2013 the notes in my new notebook certainly testify to that! So, for the next 5 minutes or so, I\u2019ll try to give you a brief insight into what life is like as a new GGD employee. From work stuff – like the interesting new clients I\u2019ll be working with, to what it\u2019s like starting a new job during lockdown, and more importantly, the first impressions of my new colleagues.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

Why Green Ginger Digital?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve worked in marketing now for over 3 years. I\u2019ve learned so much in that time, but I\u2019ve also formed a few strong opinions on how agencies should be coming across in the modern day and how to get the best out of the agency\/client relationship. These opinions revolve largely around being totally transparent and honest with each other, admitting that there is ALWAYS more to learn, and certainly not trying to over-complicate or sugar coat some of the processes that go on within the world of digital.<\/p>\n

After speaking with Nick & Emily for just 15 minutes, I knew we were on the same page. They really value transparency and absolutely thrive on delivering great results for their clients, and it comes across in spades when they are talking about their business. It was this, plus the swanky new office in the heart of Hull\u2019s old town, which convinced me GGD was the right move for me.<\/p>\n

In all seriousness, all I need to enjoy my job is an honest, open environment where everybody enjoys producing their best work \u2013 that may sound obvious to some but trust me, it\u2019s not always so easy to find!<\/p>\n

What’s new so far?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Where do I start? I\u2019ve loved learning about Green Ginger Digital as a business \u2013 the philosophy, the services, the clients, the targets for 2021. Emily and Nick are really open, and you know if you ask a question, they will answer it candidly and without an agenda. My background in marketing is very eCommerce focussed, so naturally I am going to add a few more strings to my bow at GGD \u2013 another reason I decided to join the team. Already, I\u2019ve learned tons more about SEO<\/a> and PPC<\/a> and I\u2019m looking forward to getting stuck into the other services that GGD pride themselves on.<\/p>\n

It took at least 2 hours to go through the overview of our client list on Tuesday, so that tells you how successful things have been for GGD over the last 12 months. To give you an idea of the types of businesses we currently work with, here\u2019s a basket of all the items I could come away with today if I just shopped with our clients; a bottle of premium rum, a seriously good pick n mix, loads of new clothes, a Kawasaki Vulcan S, a drone, beard wax, spine surgery (I actually need this), a few lengths of American Oak, a Moldex Classic FFP2, a new HVAC system, and last but definitely not least \u2013 a pie and a pint!<\/p>\n

I think we can agree that would be a very decent haul.<\/p>\n

A few other non-work-related things I\u2019ve managed to pick up so far:<\/p>\n
