Jacks Average Day At Our Marketing Agency In Essex<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a content creator sat here writing this; the idea of composing a blog around our agency\u2019s daily running is an unusual one. Not that I\u2019m not looking to the idea, far from it, but my whole job is predicated around the idea of writing for other people, for our clients. So, to depart from this to tell you all about how our marketing agency in Essex runs is exciting, indeed! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will do my level best to write an engaging piece and not one that reads like a 7-year-old\u2019s attempts to write about their summer holidays. If you\u2019re new to us<\/a>; we\u2019re VerriBerri \u2013 we\u2019re an agency based in Maldon offering a whole host of marketing and PR services<\/a>; and biased though I may be, it\u2019s a pretty fabulous place to work. So, join me for the next few hundred words as I attempt to find a flavour of what it\u2019s like to work in such a creatively-driven space. Read on\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Start Of The Day<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Typically, we get in for 8 o\u2019clock in the morning, an early start but you soon get used to it! One of us will usually whack the kettle on and take the morning\u2019s hot drinks orders. Requests range from milky tea to coffee so black that your very soul stares back at you. Some of us have our own mugs; whilst some of us play a daily low-stakes game of Russian Roulette. \u201cWill I get the one with the dodgy handle and spill hot liquids all over myself?\u201d \u2013 almost certainly. We all sit down, fire up our computers, and filter through our inboxes. In this way, regardless of our particular job titles, we all start the day in roughly the same way. Then, gradually, we\u2019ll start to get cracking with our specific roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Content Creator\u2019s Life Is The Life For Me<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sat at my modern-fangled typewriter (read: keyboard) my mornings consist of writing blogs; usually as many of them as I can. If it\u2019s not writing them then it\u2019ll be uploading them. Everyone here at our marketing agency in Essex likes to work collaboratively, where possible. That means whatever work a client is having done, our teams will look for input from one another; I, for example, might ask our resident graphic designers how my content would work with their infographics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means the work that we put out tends to be of a much more well-rounded nature than it might be otherwise. The blogs that I write range in length; some are punchy, fun pieces, whilst others are industry deep-dives that get me really<\/em> researching. I must admit that the nerdier part of me has always enjoyed more information-based blogs; though I wouldn\u2019t tell anyone! People sometimes ask me whether I get bored of writing, given that I\u2019m writing for clients and not myself. But this is exactly why I find it so interesting every day. Each blog for each client will have an entirely distinct tone of voice and I need to change and adapt my writing style each time, accordingly. A content creator is a bit chameleonic when you come to think of it!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lunch<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The fabled hour where all work chat is silenced and we sit and silently judge lunchtime choices. At the bottom of the pack (where I usually sit, proudly might I add) are those who pop to the shops to buy a meal deal. Over the months we perfect the balance of sandwich, crisps and drink; finally reaching a perfect nutritional equilibrium \u2013 that is, until other members of the team rudely<\/em> criticise it. (I\u2019m not bitter, I promise!). Then, at the other end of the food chain, reigning supreme, are the pair who bring in their own griddle, halogen oven, and slow cooker to whip up some gourmet dish every day like they\u2019re on MasterChef or something! I\u2019m not naming and I\u2019m not shaming, my lips are sealed. (Read: I don\u2019t want to lose my job, thank you very much).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The End Of The Day<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After lunch, with stomachs satisfied; we\u2019ll head back to our desks and pick up the phones, start writing or carry on with our graphic design projects depending on who it is. The afternoon is obviously when people start to flag a bit; when people get tired, they do not <\/em>hold back against whoever is playing resident office DJ for the day. The safe choice is the radio or the charts, but this doesn\u2019t win you respect. The bolder, but much higher risk choice, is to play one of your more niche artists or playlists. People define bravery in many ways. To me, bravery is playing rock in an open plan office\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing it\u2019s a Wednesday which, for me, means only one thing. Tomorrow is my day off<\/em>. We work a four-day week here at our marketing agency in Essex as a counterbalance to the longer days; we\u2019ve found that we\u2019re more productive and can get into a much better work flow state. It keeps us happier and it keeps our clients happier. What\u2019s not to like! Come 6 o\u2019clock and we\u2019ll all walk out of the office ready to do it all again the next day. (Unless it\u2019s our day off, of course!). Our office is located on the water of an estuary, and in the summer, the pub opposite provides a lovely place to sit down, have a pint and talk about things non-work related!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
