The thing that's a little ironic is that I felt like a fraud when I first started doing marketing work, even though I own a marketing business that made six figures in the first year and has doubled from there. The problem I had in college and shortly after was that I didn't know how to focus my drive.
That's how I fell into nonprofit marketing — my combined experience and education made me really attractive for organizations with little to no marketing budget. This meant that from the very first day of work, I helped craft the brand of the organization and then translated that into clear messaging, print materials, videos, and websites.
One summer I was a production assistant for the morning news at a local NBC affiliate. Another summer I worked 18-hour days on independent films and commercial video projects, and as a production assistant on projects for National Geographic, The History Channel, and some random architecture firm.
