Hi, I am Roain Amini and I am a marketing professional.
If I had to describe my self in one word, I would say, “hybrid“.
I am a marketer, a strategist, a half done physicist, a graphic designer, an amateur web developer, a techie, a photographer, a handy man, and also a wannabe blogger.
I am currently the assisting Marketing Manager at McKkr’s but I have passion beyond corporate management. I have more than half a decade of experience in marketing and technology which has given me the knowledge to transform ideas into value driven endeavors.
My typical day
My typical days involves a lot of planning and digital marketing work. I design and executive email marketing campaigns for various brands and services, while managing social media activities for a dozen accounts and pages. Plus, I get to do a lot of graphic design which I love with passion. Most of my days go by really quick because of the nature of projects and campaigns, but occasionally I get to slow down and spend time on the heart of marketing – conducting marketing research.

Background
From Physics to Business
I always had a passion for science and started my undergraduate studies as a Physics major in Canada, however, after two years I reflected on the opportunities I would have as a graduate. There was little hope on the horizon, unless like a bad investor I dump good money on bad money. So I made a life changing decision, and put the brakes on my studies.
After taking a few months off to sort my priorities I had one of the best experiences of my life. I luckily got an opportunity to spend time with my uncle who had a small retail distribution business. Day-in and day-out, I observed how he managed his business and family life, which inspired me to look beyond money. This is when my passion for business and sales took off. I went back to university to study business and marketing, meanwhile, I started my IT support company to help me financially. Over the next 5 years I dedicated myself to marketing and business studies, and for the first time I was out of the four walls of classrooms and labs. I was learning more than I ever learned in an academic environment for what felts like an eternity.
I believe the depth of the ocean can only be measured by the courage to go deep. My decision to jump into the dark waters made all the difference.
