Nurun

This week’s guest speakers were Hilary Jackson (Project Coordinator), Dondy Razon (Associate Creative Director), and Nadeem Visanji (Digital Strategist) from Nurun.


Then … Now … The Future
  • Then  – We shouted at people (through advertising)
  • Now – We listen (improve, ask, imagine, plan, create)
  • The Future – We read their minds
  • But seriously we start by – Asking the right questions



Advice on the Job Search
  • Broaden your horizons (look at other positions)
  • Be yourself (in the interview ask about the culture and environment and make sure they fit what you need)
  • Take any good or bad experience (who do you want to work for, what environments you want to work in and asking the right questions)
  • LinkedIn got Hilary the job (build connections)
  • Will you fit with them (they already know your skill sets)
  • Find something that separates you (talk about your passions)
  • You as an individual vs. skills (100% honest about who you are)
  • Talk about other things you are interested in
  • It’s how you think
  • Don’t plan, just be yourself
  • Embrace your uniqueness



Work Environment
  • Nurun is like a family 
  • 100% there to help each other out
  • Everybody is included
  • Relaxed
  • They get to see the brand come to life
  • Team environment
  • Deadline oriented work hours (more late nights near launches of campaigns)
