What have you learned about this role that you wish someone had told you before you entered the industry?
The digital industry I am part of has evolved in front of me. When I used to attend events and do technology work earlier, digital never existed. I am actually a product of digital evolution.
So this question, to say, is not very relevant for my position because I grew with the industry. Having said that, if I had known some basic principles of planning before, or if I'd had a relative or guardian who would have told me about media as an industry, I would have been far more prepared.
