Career Advice

I get asked all the time by designers and creative professionals: “What is the quickest way to succeed in the creative industry?” My answer is always the same: “Stop consuming and start producing.” If you want to succeed in your career, consuming volumes of social media, constantly scrolling on your phone or mindlessly gaming is not the best way to get there. Start producing content of your own: designs, graphics, audio, video and contribute value of your own by sharing your creativity, expertise and experience to help others succeed.#contentmarketing #shorts #socialmediamarketing #graphicdesign_________________________________This video is for entrepreneurs, designers, creative professionals and anyone interested in brand strategy, business planning, graphic design, design trend, marketing and communications.Philip VanDusen is the owner of Verhaal Brand Design, a brand strategy and design agency and the founder of Brand Design Masters, an ecosystem of mastermind groups, courses and networking communities for creative professionals and digital entrepreneurs seeking to build bullet-proof personal brands, agencies and businesses.
