The first step in your future you already took (voicing out loud what you want). Knowledge, soak in everything you can in your new job. Enjoy the journey.
Heyy Keegan❤. Congratulations on your new home!! I'm in my senior year of college and I have a job interview tomorrow and you being in your new phase of life makes me feel better about being in my new phase of life
Coming from someone currently doing marketing for ecomm, I would look into digital ads if you want to get more into the analytical side of it but if you want a little more creativity I would look into copywriting and branding. My background’s also in social media and now working in ecomm has taught me so much. I definitely agree that working in a different sector of marketing will help with avoiding burnout and learning new skills!
love the new place! I remember that "I can't believe I OWN this feeling", it feels great. I live in AZ too and no car ac sucks. Check your cabin air filter to see if it's clogged. That was my issue one time. It's a simple fix you can find on RU-vid. It's in your glove compartment. Stay cool!
Something to consider: I would get a second crockpot. That way on your meal prep days, you can make two different dishes and alternate them for your lunches and freeze some for future dinners.
Love the vlog!! For your career, SEO is a very nice mix of creative stuff and data. I know it from being a content writer and using it to help write blogs, but marketing agencies have SEO specialists dedicated to the data aspect of it. Sounds like it could be a good fit!!
I just want to say how much I love these weekly vlogs! My life got super busy and I just stopped watching RU-vid but these vlogs are bringing me back because I am also a grad girly in her first job and just trying to figure things out❤ thank you for making these because I relate so much to everything
@@KeeganActon thank you so much!! It’s definitely been a big learning curve but also I think I prefer it to studying. You don’t feel the constant pressure that you always need to do something like I did during college, at 5 I close my laptop and walk away from it❤
In terms of your career, instead of working towards a specific job title, maybe lean into the skills that you are interested in. There are jobs in marketing now that didnt exist even 10 years ago. So taking a more skills based approach, such as upskilling in Data, AI, Globalisation, etc. This gives you a wide base to a) figure out what it is you like and b) allow you to grow and change with the industry. Hope this helps! - A Strategy Consultant lol
Dear Keegan , thank you so much for creating these entertaining videos for us, you don't know how much I love watching ur videos and how much of an inspiration you are to me
i have a suggestion, about the shelves. Put two on one side of the tv (ideally the same ones) and the other one on the other side - to kinda frame it. you could put your mirror on the right side(where you wanted it at first) and then do the single shelf there to kinda balance it 2:2. and then there would be space on the wall where the lonley shelf was now at the beginning of the vlog for your big frame and even your mirror if my first suggetion is to tight a squeeze. hope this helps and is not already resolved cause i have only watched half the vid yet, but since it just came out i wanted to comment as soon as possible. lots of love
I work in a media agency doing paid digital marketing and what you mentioned about learning about data and creatives leads me to recommend looking into media planning or media strategy or creative strategy. Media planning and strategy requires you to look into data and consumer behavior to recommend channels and touchpoints and its very data driven although not digital specific. Creative strategy is the same but instead of focusing on media channels its all about comms ❤ Why i like media more is it can be a bit more objective since its based on data analysis whereas creative strategy leans towards subjective and depends on the clients’ taste
Hi Love your new place. I feel you shouldn’t get carried away with shelves because it might start to look cluttered. Take you time as far as decor and concentrate on things that are more important
Also - when you started talking about your short- and long-term career goals and your wants/thought processes behind it, you literally touched on what I was thinking of: the intersectionality of social media, marketing, and business analytics! At my prior job, I had started in customer service, got promoted to office manager, and shortly before leaving I had the opportunity to transform my role into something of a hybrid position that combined content development, social media marketing, and lead generation. I was also involved in marketing budget planning, execution, and management, which I think is another great skillset to develop if you're interested/not already involved in that!
I'm not sure if you use Hubspot, but they offer Hubspot Academy which delves into the marketing analytics/reporting aspects that you might be interested in. I didn't personally take the course(s) myself, but wanted to recommend it to you just in case. 😊
@@KeeganActon It was a manufacturing equipment company - so more niche, with a specific target audience. I loved learning all about the equipment and the different processes and benefits, even if I didn't have a manufacturing/engineering bg!
It sounds like you'd really enjoy digital marketing! There's so many benefits to knowing the math side of things plus being able to be creative. There are so many courses out there to learn more about it. Also - once you start in marketing you'll find soooo many other different parts of marketing that you may interested in. I'm a Marketing Content Specialist and create all of our written content but also focus on numbers too.
Your hair looks so healthy and fits you very well, longer hair suits you❤, also do you have a specific routine for your hair? Especially with accutaje I hear it ruins the hair but I feel like it wasn’t the case for your hair ✨✨✨
Keegan! I love that your manager is offering for you to learn other skills so you aren't stuck in only social media as you move forward. A good mentor can be so hard to find. I have been in marketing for a long time and I think where your position could naturally go is into growth/digital marketing. This position will not only manage the digital ads, but also work with sales teams on how marketing and sales can work together. You would create/manage multi-channel campaigns that help grow the business (ie - a campaign that includes ads, social, events, webinars, collateral, emails, etc). Growth marketing also has so much upward opportunity to become marketing management (director/VP/C-level) in the future. If you are really into writing and getting a bit more into the "technical" side of things, product marketing could also suit you. They work with the product team to create the strategy of how you bring a product to market. It can be pretty stressful and relies heavily on writing.
thank you SO MUCH you have no idea how helpful this is for. im going to start researching these and what to ask from my manger. thank you thank you thank you
@@KeeganActon No problem, I remember is being really daunting when I started in marketing. I had no idea how many different functions there were throughout a marketing team.
Hi Keegan I love your new home. And this was an awesome week in your life. Can I make a suggestion for when you are filming in your kitchen. Get a second panel for your kitchen curtains that way you can push one panel to the left and one to the right to let light into your room and not have to blur the camera. The bluring is very distracting. Also please know that when your curtains are open and it’s bright outside we can’t see any landmarks that would give away where you live. As a mom I want you to be safe and wouldn’t suggest anything that would jeopardize your safety.
I agree it annoys me so much when im editing. im planning on getting a sheer curtain behind the beige panels so itll blur it out but not limit the sunlight coming in
Contact the lender. You can do online mortgage payments. Or register online as long as you know your loan number account number. Some mortgage payments aren't due 60 days after you own the property
Watching this new vlog with my new kitten that I got yesterday 🩷😻 Your new home looks so nice and inviting ! You have amazing taste and I love your color scheme 🩷🌸😍
@@KeeganActon Thank you 🩷 I don’t think she is a particular breed but she is white with grey spots and blue eyes she is the sweetest little kitty ever I just haven’t decided on a name for her yet 🩷😻
Yayyy another update! As someone who lives in NJ and who visited Sedona, I think I'd rather take the dry heat over the heat and humidity... That said, I think we had *one* day where it was around 110 and we don't live with heat year-round, so I might be biased lol 😅
You’re incredibly mature for your age and I love that! I would add tech or data science to your arsenal. There’s plenty of free or low cost certs you can take on Udemy or Coursera. Data analytics is where it’s at combined with marketing. You’d be highly sought after. You’re doing great!
You can frost those sliding glass door for privacy when you want the light and also to avoid have to blue in video so less work for you. It super easy I did it to mine in under a hour
@@KeeganActonit’s a film that you put on the windows. You should be able to find online (Amazon may have it) and/or Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc.. Look for peel and stick window privacy films.
Yayyy weekly vlog in the new place!!! I love your new place! If your looking for a place to get work clothes I would try old navy they have really cute clothes and always have sales idk if you would wear shorts to work but they have trouser shorts and linen pants for hot days in AZ
I absolutely get the feeling the accident was in slow motion. Over the memorial day weekend a bad fire happened at my apartment complex in my building. So sad two apartments completely gutted. I sat there that next day and since thinking who am I to be so fortunate. I think you should let your hair grow out, there are so many more options. But you look gorgeous either way.
Ok so I love the new condo it’s a fabulous space . It worries me ur state gets so hot ur car won’t start and ur phone has to take a break . Amazon has started reselling returns for a low price !!!! It’s how I got my work back like urs so cheap so continue to return things lol 😂 .
You mentioned getting a new couch so it may be better to wait on more shelves. It's your place but these particular shelves are hideous IMO. Your place is nice, & it may be better to live in it for a while before getting more furniture/shelves.
If you are looking for a new egg cup recipe to rotate into your breakfast here is the one I use: Spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray Set oven to 350 degrees place 3-4 cheese cubes (your favorite type, I use Colby jack) into the bottom of each of the muffin tin Then place cubed or diced ham in each of the muffin tins Scramble 1 dozen eggs in a large (4 cup) measuring cup Add whatever seasoning you like and mix it in Pour the egg mixture into each muffin tin Place in oven and cook for 30-35 minutes Let cool and place in container then the refrigerator to enjoy throughout the week
Maybe marketing analyst ? They kind of run campaigns after also analyzing numbers but still have creative side to think of campaigns to help those numbers . !!! I’m in analyst job . Not marketing but systems but it’s very challenging and creative at same time .
Hi I'm happy to see you in your new condo. ,Hopefully I can do that same finding new places. But I wanted to mention the job I see you in deals with Marketing advertising or something along these lines but check out
Hey, when thinking where you want to go, there are some things you mention that would be helpful to work on. You mention being uncomfortable presenting and talking infront of live people, so more opportunities to that. Also, you get stress out over things you dont need. When looking to a higher level position you need to handle well. Consider how to manage when talking with your therapist if your not already. I hope that was not receive in a harsh manner. You are just so talented and dont want you to be held back for any reason. I get so motivated from how productive you are and love watching your videos. I used to live at Miller and McKellips and love seeing the area again, the few times I've reconized it.
no harsh at all!! I really appreciate you saying that!! and I agree with you that I need to work on the things holding me back. and I know exactly where that is!! such a small world
Brenda im so sorry for your loss!! losing a pet is one of the hardest things. it made me feel a little better knowing that they're in a better place and not being limited by their age and illnesses. someone told me that the pain is a reflection of how much they were loved and how great of a life they had. it made me feel better knowing they were happy while there were here. the sadness goes away over time but they will always have such a big impact on your life. bigger than the whole sky. im sorry for your loss!!
keegan! one of my family members works for an mlb team as the director of the marketing department. would you ever be interested in a position like that? love all of this moving content 🫶🏻
When we bought our house it took 2 months after we moved in until we had to start paying the mortgage, enjoy this time it is probably the same for you. Did you know you can ask Alexa to find your phone? if you say Alexa find my phone it will literally call your phone so you can find it.
hi! idk if your eczema cream is a steroid, but if it is, be careful bc of topical steroid withdrawal!! maybe look into that bc it can be bad. wishing you the best!!
If you don't have an Alexa, you should get one. It has a skill that you can get that will call your phone for you when you can't find it. It's pretty handy.
You should look into media. I'm a creative (An art director) and media might be something for ya. OR I think you would be a great associate account manager, they work hand in hand with creatives, still has some creative aspects, but it's not their forte!
You have what it looks like really thin hair and i personally think you'll look way better with longer hair. I wouldn't cut it, yet at least. Think about it this way: you already know what you look like with short hair so i say keep it until it's like boob lenght and then see if you like it like that or still want to cut it!
its eczema which is essentially dry skin. it's a side effect form my accutane. I started putting a topical on since filming this video and ti slowly getting better
Don’t feel bad for not been able to stop to assist. You say people already stopped to help and is better not to get out in the highway because is dangerous. A RU-vidrs mom sadly passed away because she got out of her car to help in an accident (she was a nurse) and was hit by a car.
You might in interested in strategy for a larger company. I work in marketing for a Fortune 100 company and strategy for a large company uses data and creative to inform their strategy.
My favourite thing to do after I get off from work on Monday is watching your vlog 🤍 first in the condo, cannot wait for all the memories you will create in this place 🩷
Hi Keegan 🙂 I love how happy you are in your new home. You must have your first 'new place' bagel 🥯. I think you are someone who will be super successful in any career, especially if you have a manager who is a 'go-getter' themselves. Do you have a 1/3/5-year plan, in terms of life achievements?
