Should I Go My Own Way? Full-Time Employment or Launch Your Own Venture

19 Sep 2024
The Future of Digital Marketing
For marketers who are toying with the idea of taking their career independent.
 
This session will cover the essentials you need to have in place before transitioning from a traditional 9-5 job to running your own business. In the post-COVID world, with companies increasingly requiring teams to return to the office, many professionals are seeking greater control over their time and considering self-employment as a more appealing option.
 
Hear from a professional who made the leap, leaving one of the most prestigious brands in the UK, Gymshark, to start his own thriving business—a decision that was far from easy.
 
What you can expect to learn:
• How to determine if you're ready to go freelance or start your own business.
• How to start your own business without a large following or platform.
Chairperson
Alyssia Smith, Senior Content Producer - CloserStill Media
