I love this story! Pablo did a history PhD and originally aimed at working as a professor. But as he finished his degree he realized he wanted to stay in Berlin, so his options were limited, academic job-wise. He’s ended up in a marvelous, exciting position, pretty unrelated to his dissertation research.
What do you do now?
I work as a content specialist for a digital agency. We consult and build websites for large companies, many of which are struggling to adapt their business models to digital markets. I work closely with designers, project managers, developers and information architects. We are about 60 people and I am part of a small editorial team of five. I help clients create content that online audiences like to read and share. I am part copywriter, consultant and digital strategist.
