One of the most underrated career skills:

Being respectful to everyone in the room.

I was raised to treat the janitor the same as the CEO.
And it's a lesson that's carried me through my career.

It might sound simple.
But it often gets overlooked.

And yet, being polite, respectuful and empathetic of everyone else (regardless of their role or postion) goes much further than most realise.

✅ It builds trust with colleagues.
✅ It creates opportunities with mentors.
✅ It shapes your circle of people.

Because career growth is built on trust.

3 simple lessons to carry forward:

1/ Value every role.
↳ A title doesn’t define a person’s worth.
↳ Show equal respect at every level.

2/ Listen before you speak.
↳ Everyone carries a story you don’t know.
↳ Be curious about their perspective.

3/ Actively make an effort to show kindness.
↳ Small acts of respect cost nothing.
↳ But they’re remembered for years.

It's not about being perfect.
It's about making small, conscious efforts.

When you do that:

Colleagues turn into mentors.
Bosses became advocates.
Peers became friends.

Respect costs nothing.
But it can shape your whole career.

What's a small act of respect that stood out to you?

Account Manager @ Kurogo | Creating Industry Leaders through Personal Branding

I eat, sleep and breathe FMCG brands and pop culture.

And if I’m not doom-scrolling into the latest trend rabbit holes, I’m talking about it on LinkedIn.

The rest of the week, I’m an Account Manager specialising in driving strategic outcomes for clients through data-led insights and delivering high-impact marketing strategies.

To craft banging brand strategy, I:
👉🏻 Research (i.e. stalk) my clients and their industries until I know them better than they know themselves
👉🏻 Keep my finger on the pulse of what’s happening in their field
👉🏻 Genuinely root for them and their business 

That’s the mix I use for my clients, and so far I’ve achieved some pretty insane results across 20+ CEOs and Founders including:

- An inquiry from Dragon’s Den
- £700k angel investment directly attributed to LinkedIn 
- Features in podcasts, panels, publications

Ultimately, people buy from people.

Not dry, faceless brands.

Today marks 3 years at Kurogo.

(Or 1,097 days of building CEO and Founders’ brands and leading strategy to be precise.☝🏻)

In numbers, it looks like this:

→ 37 client campaigns led
→ 2,634 posts published
→ 19 million impressions (!!)
→ 257,155 reactions

Yep, counted them all myself.

But it’s not just been all about the numbers (as much as I do love my spreadsheets).

In that time, I’ve also:

Attended 6 team socials 
Worked every role on the delivery team
Supported 7 clients at special in-person events
Secured a client as a lead sponsor of the Olivier Awards
Directed campaign video shoots from our London Studio
Built a client personal brand that led to a £750k in investment
Remotely worked from Bristol, London, Milan, Barcelona, Zadar and Cape Town

But by far, the best bits have been the clients I’ve worked with (4 of which have returned to work with me which means more than any impression count ever could!!) and my incredible teammates.

It’s been a huge 3 years of many highlights, wins and learnings at Kurogo - Personal Branding Agency. 

Very excited for whatever the next 1,097 days bring. 🪩

Serious about brand strategy. Not that serious about myself x | Brand, Partnerships & Culture | Live, laugh, love branding
