Voices from Marketing Team Members
=======================
Magnus / ZenPop Marketer
・“I'm part of ZenGroup's subscription box service, ZenPop. Usually, I'm managing social media,
communicating with partners, and copywriting. Recently, there have been some changes, and I
have been using my market research skills to analyze survey results, edit data, conduct meetings
with long-term customers to gather valuable insights, and develop marketing strategies. It's been
a lot of fun!”
Jessica / ZenPlus Marketer
・”Working at ZenGroup has given me the opportunity to take on more responsibility and gain
valuable experience. When I first joined, I started working with influencers for the first time. To tell
you the truth, I felt pretty uncertain about handling the budget, as it was a new level of
responsibility compared to my previous job. My team leader reassured me that mistakes are a
part of the process and a valuable learning opportunity. That perspective helped alleviate a lot of
pressure, and I began to learn and improve my negotiation skills.”
