From Mainstream Journalism to Digital Media – A New Journey With Centangle Interactive
January 4, 2019
My name is Nazish Khattak and I have completed my Masters in Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of Peshawar. In the recent past, I have worked with organizations like Express News, Suno FM 89.4 (ISPR Radio) and Free and Fair Election Network (FAFEN) in media-related positions.
Switching entirely to digital media from the mainstream media was a big challenge for me. While I was searching for a digital media-related job, a friend suggested me an advertised job at Centangle Interactive. I applied for the position and was shortlisted for an interview. At first, I was very nervous because I had never given an interview specific to digital media, also Centangle Interactive was a new name for me.
The interview went quite well and in a few days, I was given a trial period offer of one month based on my ambition to grow in the digital media field. I was quite excited and did my best to show improvement in learning new things.
After the trial period, I have been given the role of Digital Marketing and
Communications Manager. I look after sales, marketing, and communications under Centangle’s Digital Media arm.
I have been lucky to have people around me who helped me to learn and understand industry-specific practices. Right now, I’m dealing with sales funnels where we build custom sales funnels for our clients globally.
I also get to interact directly with national and international clients and customers. At the same time, I also help manage content for Centangle products.
The environment at Centangle Interactive is quite different than my existing workplaces. It’s more open with a shared workspace which allows easy access to other team members.
I look forward to improving my skills and contribute towards the progress of the company in the coming months.
Thank you Centangle for making the switch of filed so much easier for me.
