Let me start off by introducing myself –I’m Leily Abadi, Marketing Assistant and newest member to the AKMG team. Not only am I new to the team, but also new to the industry, and to be honest, it already beats all the other jobs I’ve ever had! Now I know you’re probably asking, “What can she possibly already know to come to such a conclusion?” Well, my friend, you’d be surprised…

Up to this point, I have always worked in very “Type A” industries – recruiting, IT consulting – you get the point. And if your blood wasn’t boiling and hair wasn’t falling out by the end of each day, then you weren’t doing your job. Needless to say, this is also the mentality I carried with me straight into the doors of AKMG…and finally exhaled. Not because of the lack of work or a slow environment. Actually, it’s quite the opposite. I work with advertisers all day long and have offers up to my ears to review, all waiting in line to be the next Acai Berry or Colon Flush. And believe me, I spent the first 2 weeks trying to take every offer thrown at me, doing all the paperwork, and making the offers live all in one day. So after about my 3^rd panic attack and a bit of advice from my colleagues, it finally dawned on me…I will NEVER finish my to-do list in one day.  Boy, was that epiphany a sigh of relief! I have since realized that if I leave the office at the end of the day with a stack of Insertion Orders and credit apps to approve, a list of advertisers to call back, creatives to upload, and pixels to get tested, then I’d consider it a pretty good day.
