🌟 Employee Spotlight: AJ Sanchez🌟   Meet AJ Sanchez, a key member of our DESBY team who’s been making waves with his creativity, passion, and adaptability! 🎉   🗣️ In AJ’s Own Words: "Reflecting on the past six months at DESBY Technologies, I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of a team that not only values innovation and growth but truly embraces the principle of authenticity. From the moment I joined, it was clear that being yourself is more than just a motto here—it’s at the heart of our company culture. The support and openness of the team stand out. I’ve been given the space to voice ideas and see them come to life, which makes every project feel more personal and impactful." 💡✨   🎸 Fun Fact: Did you know that AJ made an incredible career pivot from the world of entertainment to tech? 🎶 From managing live events and loud music to navigating virtual meetings, he's proven that adaptability is key. When the COVID lockdown of 2020 changed the entertainment industry, AJ stumbled upon the world of ServiceNow—and found a way to transfer his skills in event coordination, logistics, and keeping a cool head under pressure to apply in a completely new way. What began as an unexpected journey has now become a thriving career, where his creativity and problem-solving continues to shine! 🌟 Talk about transferable skills! 🎯   DESBY Technologies is thrilled to have AJ Sanchez on board and can’t wait to see what more he’ll achieve. 🌟   #TeamDESBY #Innovation #EmployeeSpotlight #CareerJourney #CareerTransition #TechLife #DESBYDifference

Yesterday I completed another tour around the sun (I'm a year older - I know that phrase is odd, especially if you have never heard it.) I told a few people of what I had as my "birthday" wishes but instead of a wish, I'm going to change that to my goals: 1. Get a job offer! (this didn't happen yesterday but it is still birthday week so you all have 48 hours left 😉 ) 2. All-expense paid trip (with backstage passes because if you're going to ask) to see my favorite band, #PearlJam, play at Fenway next week (I would take another show but again, why not) So as I continue to work for these goals I wanted to share that I'm focused and know this is going to be a great year where I'm going to get back to exceeding results! One thing I've been working on (with the help of a great connection) is understand the value I can offer. I'm calling this my Professional Network Value (#PNV for short, because the corporate world needs another abbreviation.) Now this is only an estimate but one that has made me think about my past success and how powerful a network really is. This is all that I'm going to share for now but if you're interested in learning more or discussing how I can bring my #PNV to your team and organization, let's talk - head over to my portfolio page - Meetbryanc.online to possibly see a snapshot of this and other projects, capabilities, etc. And to #HiringManagers, if you're looking for an experienced, talented, multi-faceted knowledge expert, let's talk because I can get your organization into #businessdiscussions solving real problems and growing revenue so feel free to DM me. But hurry, I may not be on the market for long!!!!!!!!!!! #knowyourvalue #focusedonsolvingbusinessproblems #helpingdeliverbusinessoutcomes

Ever wondered who gets more excited about a company outing? 🤔 Check out this hilarious take on the typical office scenario: an enthusiastic intern steals the show while the team lead and manager seem less thrilled. 😂 . . . #worklife #officelaughs #internlife #teamdynamics #corporatehumor #workculture #funnyvideos #linkedinvideo #socialmedia #digitalmarketing #oughtsolution Ought Solution

After a year focused on enabling and supporting others to develop their knowledge, behaviours and skills, I've just signed up for this skills sprint to work on developing my own! I'm looking forward to trying it out and will report back afterwards. #researcherdevelopment #careers #learninganddevelopment #professionaldevelopment #skillsdevelopment

One year at ComplyAdvantage, and a decade in Talent… here’s a "reflection"! A little about me: I started in recruitment ten years ago, fascinated by the idea of “experts” shaping teams, and yes, I was definitely naïve, but curiosity led the way! 😅 My first role was an internship at IKEA, seemed like a good step, though I’m not exactly a furniture enthusiast. Soon, I realised tech was my calling. Why tech? First, I’m a geek at heart, ranging from comics to have taken part in a suspicious club that would install PS1 chips to pirate games. Second, everyone kept telling me it was tough—so naturally, I was intrigued by it! Landing my role with an incredible team (a rarity!) set the stage for everything that followed. We tackled the mysteries of tech together and that experience made me realize how much a great team matters and impacts your growth. From there, I was lucky to keep learning and growing with new teams, taking on challenges that shaped me both professionally and personally.🚀 Fast-forward to now: joining ComplyAdvantage a year ago, I had some sense of what to expect, but I didn’t anticipate enjoying it this much. From over 200 interviews (yes, 200+) to working with an inspiring team, each encounter has brought something meaningful. Being part of a mission to fight financial crime adds so much purpose to my work, and everyone here shares that passion. The collaboration and drive here are something special, and while there’s always room to grow, the appetite for it is real! So, one year down, and I’m grateful for the journey. Sometimes we forget to just enjoy the ride (okay, maybe a little cringey), but this is one of those moments. If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading and a special thanks to all that have been part of the journey 😁

I'm not usually one for long posts but I had to take a step back today as I realized its 10 years to the day since I joined Resultant. That is quite literally the longest I have ever done....anything. I came to Resultant by way of departmental acquisition. Though I didn't necessarily seek out Resultant a decade ago, it's turned out to be one the best things that could happen for me and my career. Today, when I interview candidates for various roles, the number one question I get is "I see that you've been with Resultant for a long time, what makes you stay?" It's a phenomenal question and one I am always eager to answer. Opportunity: When I started at Resultant 10 years ago, I was employee number 35. Today, we are a company of nearly 500 employees spread out across the country. That kind of growth, year after year, leads to our employees being put into positions to do new things every day. New service lines, new clients, new places. In my time at Resultant I've held 7 different positions, each one a natural progression from the previous. I've worked with all different types of businesses, all different sizes, across numerous industries. Being in that position has exposed me to all types of systems, people, structures, etc. It has accelerated my own personal growth and overall made me extremely well-rounded. I've even had the opportunity to service clients and travel to places like China and Germany. It's not lost on me that not everyone gets opportunity like that, but at Resultant, it's an everyday reality. Community: During my early career at Resultant, we were a smaller company that primarily serviced the Indianapolis market. I cannot understate the gratification I get when I drive around the city today. It's difficult to go more than a couple minutes without seeing a logo, a sign, or an office of a company that we've helped succeed. Indianapolis always been home to me. I've always been proud of who we are, and to be at a company that also pushes that agenda is amazing. Today, Resultant supports a myriad of companies across the country. Yet still, I get the same gratifying feeling when I see those companies in articles, news releases, even televised commercials. Taking who we are in Indianapolis and expanding our community to other areas of the country has been so exciting to watch. People/Culture: If you come across this post, it may look familiar. That's more than likely because so many of our people have stayed at Resultant for so long. I routinely collaborate with people who have been here 5 years, 10 years, even those still around from when the company first formed. We constantly talk about our mission, vision, and values and each are evident in the work we do. We are a team of collaborative problem solvers. The trust I put into our people is unmatched. I am so thankful I've had the opportunity to spend the last decade at Resultant and excited to see the heights we reach moving forward.

Week 3 at MadeBrave! I am still working on my core project, which I will share in a week (hopefully). At the same time, I shadow the team on calls, meetings, and filming days. Here are some of the interesting insights, which won't be as sharp and advanced as Andrew Dobbie ‘s but I hope you find value in them: Strategy ♟️ •" The essence of a strategy is to choose what not to do." •The core of the strategy is the data from our research or the one provided by a client. It is critical, but also, experiences, interviews, and emotions always play a big part in forming a solid strategy. •Human truths are as important as cold statistics. •Strategy is the clarity of thoughts; if something is unclear, it means that the strategy is incomplete or the interpretation of the data is wrong. •With all the data collected, we can craft strategies to tackle a project from different angles and decide the one with the most potential. •Key questions to summarise a strategy: -Who is our target? -How are they feeling? -What is the functional benefit? -What is the reason to believe? -How do we want the target to feel? Thanks Mike Brooke 🫶 Art direction 🖼️ •Make it look like something that will grab someone's attention. (Easier said than done) Jamie Axford 👌 •Create ads that don't look like ads. •Have very clear the message you want to tell •Seeing things on things •You cannot go wrong if you take Paul Belford's work as a reference. Personal thoughts 💭 •I have discovered that my thoughts about activations can be pretty negative, and taking time to put a positive spin on them improves my design thinking and strengthens the outcome. •An unstoppable idea is the outcome of gathering brilliant minds that communicate amazingly daily. •Good strategy and art direction are not enough on their own; a good project has both. •Communication and kindness are essential for a studio to be successful. •If your mentor is Jordan Pollock you will be Okay 👍 •Having a mountain of sweets at work is dangerous if you want to lose weight. •Caffeine saves the day every day in any industry. •People with different skill sets will always have a place to work in the creative industry. Big thanks to John Doe and the team of UNLOCKED for this opportunity of being in such a privileged position.
