This week on Your Career, Unscripted, I spoke with Gideon Spitzer-Williams, Global Experiential Marketing Lead, B2B at Canva, someone who gave me thoughtful advice years ago when I was trying to break into marketing.
What stayed with me most was Gideon’s overall honesty and his intentionality about building a career rooted in joy.
Gideon walks through his journey from Snapchat, Tinder, Archrival, Red Bull, and Canva and what each chapter taught him. We also get into the differences between product, brand, and experiential marketing, his ambition to become a CMO, how he spends his time in his role at Canva, and practical advice on standing out in the application and interview process.
I highly recommend this episode for anyone looking for inspiration on creative careers!
If there’s one idea that you leave with, it's to follow your own joy - wherever that authentically leads you.
