Today, we wanted to take the opportunity to highlight WorkTango’s amazing Associate Product Marketing Manager, Milan. Milan has been with WorkTango for 3 years.
1. What made you choose to join the WorkTango team?
I joined WorkTango in 2020 with only a few years of work experience. I was looking for a company where I could learn, develop, grow, and gain exposure to all areas of Marketing. Throughout the interview process, I could already tell that WorkTango was going to be the perfect fit. WorkTango’s focus on company culture and employee experience really struck a chord with me. My experiences with the culture at other workplaces in the past have not always been positive, so I wanted to join an organization that truly cares about and invests in its employees. And of course, the last piece that convinced me to become a Tangoneer was WorkTango’s healthy benefits and the perk of having unlimited vacation. I mean, who can say no to that?
2. What are you currently enjoying most about your role here at WorkTango?
The part of my role that I enjoy the most is bringing new features and functionality to market. WorkTango’s products are constantly being updated and enhanced, so there is always something new to showcase. I enjoy collaborating across the business to bring these new product iterations to the market, and getting customers and prospects excited about their value and impact on delivering an extraordinary employee experience.
3. How have you grown since starting at WorkTango?
I first started at WorkTango in 2020 as a Marketing generalist, mostly focusing on enablement and basic Marketing activities. I quickly moved into a Project Management role, and then finally found my home in Product Marketing.
Since joining the Product Marketing team, I’ve learned more than I could have imagined from a Marketing, Product, Sales and overall business perspective. My growth has been a combination of my own hard work and determination and WorkTango supporting me wholeheartedly along the way. The business has changed quite a bit since I first started, but one thing has remained constant – WorkTango continues to invest in employee growth and career development.
4. What’s your favorite productivity hack?
I’m a big to-do list guy. Every single day in my notebook, I write down exactly what I am focused on for the day, and then physically cross items off my list once they are complete. I get a sense of accomplishment from crossing things off, and I remember them better when I write them down by hand.
Aside from to-do lists, I put my phone on Do Not Disturb for a period of time (1-2 hours) each day, and then check it after so as to not be distracted by notifications that come in throughout the day.
5. What is one thing you can’t live without?
Food, water and shelter.
