Recently, I left Blast Radius to put greater focus on my passion for brand strategy.
I'm very proud of the work I produced and the team I collaborated with while at BR. However, I wasn't fully satisfying the goal that drove me to London. So, like I often reference when writing about brands, to satisfy your purpose certain trade-offs must be made.
My trade-off was to leave Blast Radius, a great digital agency with amazing expertise in social media, to put greater effort and drive behind my passion for brand strategy. This was a very difficult decision, but one I'm happy with.
In the near term, to continually satisfy my purpose, to help organizations make meaning and live it everyday, and do something I've been wanting to do for quite awhile but with never enough time, I will be travelling to Tanzania to volunteer with an orphanage, The Tanzanian Children's Fund, for the month of May.
What drew me to this organization was its purpose/philosophy of establishing a family dynamic for these children, in addition to providing education, and their commitment to this philosophy in everything they do.
Coming from a wonderful family and having had a spectacular education growing up, I want to pay it forward and help this organization continue to make meaning and live it everyday!
Upon my return, I will seek to work with pure brand agencies to help organizations position, innovate and evolve with purpose at the heart. After all, this is what I love to do, and sometimes difficult trade-offs must be made to make your dream a reality.

ReplyDeleteNecklace--wear a suit, need a grab an eye brilliant color necklace; Wearing a butterfly dress, also can choose similar necklace, let colour collision.
Fine with sandals--high-heeled shoes and half skirt is best partner, colourful fine with sandals when it would be the largest window, along with the office of the essential "Deng Deng Deng Deng" heel away, you more hope to become attention grabbing.
Tide female high-profile through the color piece a secret. The highest, this year than fluorescent color. We all know that the economic crisis, so the tide female to use bright fluorescent color from high, high profile have drive!
Don't eccentric behavior, but dress is absolutely to high profile. Youth is used to spending and recognition of wantonly. Or is black and white and bright contrast, or is a fluorescent color big bump color, would rather take sport coat, snow spins small skirt and long string of exaggeration bracelet full set in the body, and never middle-of-the-road.
