One of the best possible advices I was given during my first two weeks at CP+B was from the studio manager in Miami who came up to work on the Microsoft Windows 7 campaign. He told me “Don’t just give creatives what they ask for, give them what they haven’t thought of yet.” and that has been sitting, slowly brewing in my mind. I am here for a reason and sometimes it means I have bring it all to the table. You are recognized for having talent, knowing that you can produce some amazing work. Yet, sometimes the people around you really don’t know what you’re capable of doing until you show it. 

Every chance and opportunity I have to display my talent/skills is a plus for me to show my worth and contribute to the big idea. It is also a benefit for the people above you to see that you’re not just a one hit wonder with just being an art director, digital artist, graphic designer, and maybe a producer. Sometimes they might need something out of the ordinary and wouldn’t have thought of you or ask you, if you haven’t made it known you are capable of doing it. Just don’t be cocky about it as well - confident but not cocky.

I love this quote (random I know)

“In the end, you’re measured not by how much you undertake but by what you finally accomplish.” - Donald Trump
