I decided, after all, to completely stop doing work. To stop saying I was a consultant, a strategist, a creative, an anything. I switched off all my LinkedIn work and profile relevant to my past marketing, advertising and brand work. I just stopped.
So, this blog has drifted. Again.
I don’t think I have anything worth sharing, so for the time being consider this my final post until such time I think I might have something to share, or to write about.
That said, two places have approached me in the past two weeks to do their strategy, marketing and associated advertising campaigns. It’s harder to give up than you might think, especially if people recommend you all the time.
I turned one down. I quite like the other brand, as it’s local and small and could be fun with minimal effort. I’m not sure they have much budget anyway, which can be a constraint worthy of attention.
I’m still not calling myself a marketing, advertising, brand anything, or a consultant, or a strategist. I’ll go with something like ‘occasional warehouse visitor’ or something. Probably more appropriate.
