Get to know Steph.
I have worked in many different sectors, all bearing no relation to each other, and the Agri-sector was completely new to me when I started at RDP 2.5 years ago. Ag is the sort of industry that you fall in love with very easily-the people you meet and deal with, the hardworking brands that make things ultimately better right across all the agri-chain, the sheer relevancy of agriculture in all our lives. It is an incredible sector that touches so many people’s lives in different ways.
The people, the diversity of business brands involved; there is real meaning to what everyone is trying to do and that affects change. When you take a step back and realise that you are working in a sector that puts food on our tables, then it makes you take stock of things and it is very humbling to be a part of.
There’s too many to mention but a recent one which isn’t a live product campaign at the moment so I can’t talk about the brand just yet, involved vegetables and bringing them to life in a very vivid and eye-catching way. I hasten to add the studio had tremendous amounts of fun creating the concept and we were pleased as punch when the client wanted to go with the idea.
I’m lucky as I’m naturally motivated by the sector and when you love what you do, you are ¾ of the way there. It does help that I work with a great team and boss, and this counts for a lot. Inspiration comes from chats with the team, seeing the creativity that flows across the great campaigns we create and keeping a finger on the pulse of what’s happening in the agri-world-it’s all highly inspiring.
Hmm, how to get the best out of the people you work with. I could easily talk about production efficiencies and streamlining work areas operationally, but my passion is people so it would be how to get the best out of people when you all work in a team and how to get everyone rolling up their sleeves and playing a part equally. The best work comes from team dynamics and not one person alone.
Alpacas because they look very cute, their fleece is just gorgeous to touch, and apparently, they have an ability to protect other livestock; so a bit of a hero in a warm fluffy coat.
