I spent FOREVER trying to think of a title for this blog post, but I couldn’t.

So, here we are. My first blog post. If you’re new here, thanks so much for taking the time to visit and I’m so grateful you’re here!

I’m Farah, Social Media Manager and Strategist at Virtually Yours (yes, I’m a marketing girly). And my favourite part? Consumer psychology. If I could have any super-power I’d be a mind reader. You might think I’m nosey, but I just love understanding the way people think, the why and the influences. Not so I can be ‘salesy’ and get them with my marketing BUT because I believe the services and products we offer are an act of service. We are providing value. And if you are genuine and authentic you can but successful on socials (even though I know how overwhelming it can be).

Wondering what got me here? I graduated university with a Bachelors in Marketing & Economics and I grew up picturing myself as ‘that marketing girl’ with the fancy clothes and shoes, commuting to the city every morning with a coffee-in-hand (ironic because I’m a tea drinker and only have the occasional coffee), nice office (except instead of New York I’d be in Auckland City).

That was my vision.

But then I quickly saw the reality. After spending years trying to climb the corporate ladder and being so passionate about what I do, I decided to go out on my own. I started freelancing.

And it was the BEST decision I ever made. I’ve had the opportunity to having amazing conversations, work with like-minded women and went through so much growth – both on a personal level and career wise.

Anyways, enough about ME. If you’re looking for bite-sized tips, the latest marketing trends and everything you need to stay ahead of the curve on social media, you’re in the right place.

The next post will be a good one, so stay tuned.

Until next time,

Farah
