Meet Imani, a New York-based Principal Account Manager. In her role, Imani partners with a range of clients to build high-impact digital advertising strategies. Imani’s path to Google was winding: After studying creative writing in both undergrad and grad school, she began her career as a digital marketing manager in the publishing industry. When it came time for a career pivot, Google was a natural choice: “I knew I wanted to stay close to marketing and advertising. As a buyer, Google was always one of my favorite platforms. I also knew a lot about the company and its culture, and I thought it would be a great place to learn and grow as a marketer.” Today, her favorite part of the job is the community. “Everyone I work with is so smart, kind and interesting,” she says. Imani’s biggest surprise after joining Google? The pop-culture connection. “My job requires me to stay attuned to what's trending. My clients love aligning their brands with topical events, so it's super important for me to know about the next big event to keep up with their media strategy.” Ready to make a career change like Imani?
