Journey to Jupiter: Discover the Life You'll Create14 Kesä 2019

From Small Town Girl to Lady in the Big City: The Journey of Marketing Manager Jennifer Morgan

Today, we are joined by Jennifer Morgan. Jennifer was born and raised in a rural town just south of Atlanta, Georgia in Butts County. After graduating from the University of Georgia in 2005 with a degree in Advertising, she moved to Atlanta to begin her marketing career.

Following time at Yellowpages.com and a small start-up agency, she landed at Digitas where she worked on campaigns for IHG Hotels, SunTrust, Dunkin' Donuts, and Delta Air Lines. She's currently the Manager of Marketing at the High Museum of Art.

Some key points Jennifer shares:

1. Most people don't like their first job, so don't worry if you don't like your first one either. Use it as a stepping stone to learn what you like and don't like in work environments, so you can move on to something that's a better fit.

2. Work internships or shadow people in the careers you're considering to get a sense of what the job truly is before you commit to a career path that you might not like.

3. Networking is critical! Most people are offered jobs by people they know. Jennifer learned about her current job before it was even posted while attending an AMA (American Marketing Association) networking event.
