More Than Just a Social Post: Celebrating Women in Digital Marketing
On International Women’s Day 2023, we celebrate the strength, creativity, and passion of women everywhere—especially those shaping the digital world. Meet Hannah and Liv, the talented duo behind Rovert Digital’s content and social media success. As young professionals, they share their unique insights on work, happiness, mental health, and navigating the startup industry as women.
Growth and Leadership
Hannah reflects on her journey from a newcomer to digital marketing to someone who now sees the bigger picture, appreciating how teamwork drives successful projects. She’s learned that leadership is about understanding how everyone’s contributions come together.
Advice on Autonomy and Asking for Help
Liv advises her past self to embrace autonomy but also to seek support when needed. Recognizing when to ask for help isn’t a weakness, but a sign of conscientiousness and care.
Perspective on Happiness
Hannah believes that experiencing tough days makes us appreciate the good ones. For her, mindset, positive relationships, and meaningful work are key to happiness and progress.
Finding Balance and Joy
Liv’s way to unwind? Music and movement. Dancing helps her disconnect from screen time, while writing and cooking nourish her soul and relationships, creating her happy places.
Words of Encouragement for Young Women Starting Out
Hannah encourages passion and curiosity. She reminds newcomers that growth comes through mistakes and questions, and that it takes time to build something meaningful.
Overcoming Challenges in Writing
Liv shares that persistence is key in the competitive writing world. She advises staying focused, writing consistently even when it’s tough, and caring for oneself to overcome blocks and rejection. Celebrating the artist’s journey is vital.
A Celebration of Women
To all the incredible women out there, Hannah and Liv say: Happy International Women’s Day! This is your moment, celebrate it in your own special way. ❤️
“We’re more than just a social post.” Today is International Women’s Day 2023, and the time to celebrate and amplify all the incredible aspects of being a woman. Being two young, driven and creative professionals, Hannah and Liv are passionate about inspiring fellow women with their stories. These fabulous ladies are the dynamic duo behind Rovert Digital’s content and social media success.
We asked Liv and Hannah to tell us a bit about their unique philosophies on work, happiness, mental health and being a young woman in the startup industry.
What’s the biggest development you’ve undergone since you started work at Rovert Digital?
Hannah: “When I first started, I was new to the industry and I wasn’t aware of all the avenues of digital marketing. For me, having a structured process was really important. Now, I’m able to view lots of details as part of a bigger picture and see projects holistically. I’ve learnt to be a leader by understanding that everyone’s teamwork adds up to the final result.”
If you could give last-year-Liv a piece of advice on her first day at Rovert Digital, what would it be and why?
Liv: “Autonomy is an asset, but it’s just as important to ask for help. Many times throughout my first six months, I heaped responsibility onto myself and was hesitant to admit that I needed additional information. Acknowledging that you could use support doesn’t diminish your intelligence, it actually emphasises that you are a conscientious, caring person.”
What’s your perspective on happiness? How do you react to feeling not-so-great?
Hannah: “You need bad days to be grateful for happy days. Happiness and gratitude are intertwined, for me. I am a super positive person, so whenever I do have a low day, I always try my best to switch my perspective. Being 21, mindset, the people you hang around and the work you do, are essential ingredients in making progress. Family and friendships mean a lot to me as well.”
After a long working week, what things help you wind-down? And where is your happy place?
Liv: “Music, music, music.
I’m happy when I’m dancing. I think changing your body’s interaction with the world after sitting at a desk or looking at a screen really assists me in detaching from the online. My happy place is when I’m at one with my writing and the words. Or in the kitchen, because food nourishes the soul and our relationships.”
What would you tell other young women looking to get into their first entry-level, full-time role?
Hannah: “Make sure you’re going into something you’re passionate about, that you want growth and development in. Passion informs your willingness to learn. At an entry-level job, you won’t know everything, so make mistakes, ask questions , be curious and get inspired. Rome wasn’t built in a day!”
As a copywriter, what’s your advice for women in the writing industry? It’s super competitive, so how do you push through writer’s block or rejection?
Liv: Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re taking yourself too seriously. I cannot count the amount of people who have laughed at my goals or creative projects I had on the cards, because they assumed I didn’t have enough experience to get myself where I wanted to go.
I stayed focused on myself and stayed consistent – write everyday, write bad, write again, write better.
Your first draft is a first draft for a reason. Writer’s block can be cured by looking after yourself first and turning to art that celebrates the artist and their journey.
The all of the incredible women out there, happy International Women’s Day! This is our day, so be sure to celebrate in your own way. ❤️
