Life as a new carrot...

I was absolutely thrilled when Jo called a few hours after my final interview to confirm I had got the job as digital marketing associate at Carrot. Coincidentally, it was the same date that I received the keys for my boyfriend and I’s first house so it was a day for double celebration. After graduating from the University of Leeds in June with a BA in Graphic and Communication design, I had been working full time in a pub which is a job I loved but didn’t particularly want a career in!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here so far, the staff are all lovely and succeeded in extinguishing my jittery first-day nerves within seconds of me walking through the door. Pizza Express was bought for the whole office for lunch (which I am told doesn’t happen every day) but was a great welcome and very much appreciated.

A first week itinerary procedure meant that I met all the staff individually during my first week which made me feel really at home and comfortable with everybody here. Three weeks on, and I feel like I have been here forever.

My job is to assist Jo with the marketing side of the company which involves keeping up with our social media sites, blogs and updating website content. Our aim is to create more traffic to our online platforms and to increase awareness surrounding Carrot Pharma and Carrot Intell. I also work on design, animation and branding projects so look out for our new stuff :)
