Hello to the new and old Sweathead members!

We’re happy to have you here. It’s been lonely on this website.

If you feel like it… Say hello, where you’re from, and what you’re hoping to get out of your membership.

My name is Marshall. I live in Philly but from Los Angeles originally. I’ve been working with Mark for a year and leading the launch of this new website. Soooo I’m hoping that people use the site and get real benefits for their career and life out of the site!

Excited to virtually meet many of you ?

Kia ora, I’m Hayden, a freelance copywriter from New Zealand.

Mainly I want to become a better strategic thinker so I can be involved earlier in the marketing/branding ‘process’. It often seems that I’m brought into a campaign so late that I’m there to give the turd some nice packaging. Hopefully, the ‘strategist’ feather in my cap means I can work further upriver.

[Mark]

Let’s hope this happens, Hayden. It’s not an uncommon situation. If you’re open to talking to one of the team about it all, let me know.

Thanks, Mark – I would really like to talk to one of the team, especially as a lot has changed in the last 4 weeks!

Jambo, Marshall.

Kuria here. From Kenya.

I’m an older Sweatie…but still have love for all of you.

Sweathead changed my life – I’m more ever more rigorous and confident in preparing and sharing my thinking with the world. And I’m only just getting started.

It may be lonely here, but you’re not alone.😁

Keep up the good work!

Hi everyone! I’m Avishai, a freelancer in marketing and a B.A student in political science and communication from Israel.

Still trying to figure out exactly where I’m heading career-wise, I love strategy and communication but don’t see myself working in the advertising field as the strategy work seems too short-term in its nature. I enjoy strategic business and communication work that’s long-term. That’s where I think brand platforms and similar work might be an interesting direction, but I’m not sure.

I hope to gain strategic thinking skills through the classes and community, and mainly figure out a direction for my career that involves my skills.

Thanks!

Avishai
