Member Spotlight: Jada Holst
Meet Jada Holst!
Marketing Specialist @ Chandler, Inc. Member since December 2018.
Why did you decide to join sbf胜博发登录? I happened upon my local sbf111胜博发 chapter when registering for a national sbf111胜博发 event (Digital Marketing Bootcamp) and the rest is history!
What’s one of your favorite sbf胜博发登录 events and why? sbf胜博发登录 does a wonderful job of blending online and in-person events to cover tons of marketing topics, trends, and best-practices. A personal favorite was an event hosted at Morsekode covering thoughtful video planning. I’m also really looking forward to their “Coffee Breaks” segment on personal branding and leadership.
Why is being a member of sbf胜博发登录 important to you? The opportunity to build relationships with other marketers, both locally and nationally, has been immensely beneficial. Seasoned sbf111胜博发 members are eager to engage with and guide young professionals on an on-going basis. I’ve had the opportunity to build relationships with local Fortune-500 marketers and receive stellar guidance on complex implementations. As a team of one, I often look outside of my organization for marketing guidance and sbf胜博发登录 is a great resource. Another perk of sbf111胜博发 is its national presence. I’ve made valuable connections and friendships with corporate and agency-side marketers in Nashville, Atlanta, North Carolina, and more. I’m truly grateful for these awesome sbf111胜博发 perks!
What’s the one thing you wish others knew about sbf胜博发登录? What makes it unique? Call me a broken record, the relationships make it unique! sbf胜博发登录 members are engaged because they’re highly interested in our field, not because they’re seeking obligatory benchmarks like you might find in other organizations. It’s a great place to brainstorm and problem solve with other marketers facing similar challenges. Finally, members are so welcoming and engaging, don’t be shy to fly solo at an upcoming event- you’ll surely leave with lots of new marketing pals.
What is some of the best advice you’ve received in your career? It may be a cliché, but my favorite piece of advice is: “Be a lifelong learner.” I take this one to heart and spend time every day reading up on the latest and greatest in marketing trends. At the rapid rate digital marketing changes, continuous education is critical to best position your brand and your team. Expanding beyond your realm of expertise is also highly valuable in your professional development and makes you a more well-rounded member of your team.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time? As a true Midwesterner, you can find me on the lake (frozen or not), finding new hot spots Minneapolis, helping dad on my family farm, cheering on my Hawkeyes, or cuddling with my corgi Hazel.
