Jordan also tells us how he went about learning Photogrpahy, from getting out there with his camera to getting work at studios to learn from the photographers on shoots. Its definitely a competitive industry and one that can be extremely difficult to navigate when you first start out but as you learn the intricacies of what to charge and how to win clients it can be really rewarding. Jordan also gives us an insight into all the different aspects of a photography business and gets what you won't be taking photos most fo the time, you need to work on marketing, admin, finances and client negotiations.

Entrepreneur - Digital Ethos (Marketing Agency)
We chat with Luke Tobin about his career in marketing. Luke is the Founder and CEO of Digital Ethos a marketing agency that he has built up over seven years, from a one man band working with freelancers to the full scale global agency it is today. Luke started out in the sales and business development side of the industry learning how to sell to potential clients. In my opinion this is often an overlooked aspect of the industry when we discuss careers within it, being able to sell and clearly articulate the value add is a hugely valuable skill set, and completely different to most aspects of the industry. Luke also shares his thoughts on how to stand out in interviews and what he looks for when hiring, as well as his opinion on University. A genuine pleasure to have Luke on the show, if you are thinking about getting into the industry or starting your own agency, this is a must listen.

A really enjoyable episode.
