Read edited excerpts:
Did you always aspire to work in this sector? How did you prepare for the same?
What can be a better expression of your emotions than your words! You write what you feel and I guess that’s how most of the best pieces are crafted. Writing was something I was doing as a hobby, I never thought I could do it professionally, but well, AIMC gave me a mentor who suggested that I would go for writing. So, Thank you so much Mudita ma’am for suggesting this.
Now I feel I can write not just for me but for brands. To do better, I have started reading books, taking a closer look at social media posts related to writing and started observing things around me (especially the ads) more keenly than ever before. Because every observation is an inspiration for your next piece.
What was your preparation strategy to crack placements?
I was always sure about getting into the creative department in an advertising agency. So my preparation to crack the placements involved working on my skills everyday and knowing the basics of the industry. Well, that worked well for me I guess.
