In this special episode of The Badlands I’m talking with Richard Robinson, Richard is the human version of LinkedIn. Given his time in the agency world and the intermediary world running Oystercatchers and now Executive Director of Ingenuity +, he simply knows everyone and everyone knows him!
In this conversation, Richard shares his extensive experience in marketing and advertising, discussing the challenges faced by professionals in the industry today, particularly those in transition. We talk about the importance of personal branding, networking, and Richard introduces the concept of 'inbetweeners' (those currently out of work) and advocates for recognising their value and contributions, regardless of their employment status.
We discuss effective job search strategies and the significance of investing time in career development outside of regular working hours. Finally Richard gives his views on the opportunities that lie ahead in 2025.
We hope you enjoy, please share it with anyone you know that is currently in The Badlands or anyone that doesn’t know Richard. (all 3 of them)
