Account Manager @ Kurogo | Creating Industry Leaders through Personal Branding

I eat, sleep and breathe FMCG brands and pop culture.

And if I’m not doom-scrolling into the latest trend rabbit holes, I’m talking about it on LinkedIn.

The rest of the week, I’m an Account Manager specialising in driving strategic outcomes for clients through data-led insights and delivering high-impact marketing strategies.

To craft banging brand strategy, I:
👉🏻 Research (i.e. stalk) my clients and their industries until I know them better than they know themselves
👉🏻 Keep my finger on the pulse of what’s happening in their field
👉🏻 Genuinely root for them and their business 

That’s the mix I use for my clients, and so far I’ve achieved some pretty insane results across 20+ CEOs and Founders including:

- An inquiry from Dragon’s Den
- £700k angel investment directly attributed to LinkedIn 
- Features in podcasts, panels, publications

Ultimately, people buy from people.

Not dry, faceless brands.

Harry Styles is BACK!!

And his return shows the power of superfandom.

Last week, Styles dropped his next album announcement: “Kiss all the time. Disco, occasionally.”

No dramatic countdowns. Just some subtle teasing for the hawk-eyed fans and a jumpscare insta post were needed to immediately DOMINATE social feeds. 

All because his fanbase is anything but ✨casual✨. 

It’s devoted, connected, and ready to react, turning a simple album announcement on a random Thursday in January into a global cultural moment.

What does this tell us?

→ Loyal superfans amplify hype organically without the need for over-the-top, drawn out campaigns.

→ Scarcity drives excitement. Surprise drops turn single moments into shared cultural experiences.

→ Legacy and timing matter. Years of authentic connection set the stage for a moment that feels inevitable, and oh so satisfying.

Naturally, reactive brand responses came thick and fast over the weekend.

But my unexpected fave was NHS England reminding the girlies to book their cervical screenings, leaning into Harry’s comeback while connecting it to a real-world outcome.

(Someone give their social media manager a raise x)

What makes this announcement even more fun is how perfectly it ties to the January 2016 trend blowing up right now.

Fans are already leaning into nostalgia and teenage cringe, sharing throwbacks to their awkward, excitable, unpolished selves. 
And for many, this also connects to their original love for Harry Styles, adding another layer of nostalgia.

That’s superfandom, nostalgia, and clever timing in action, driving massive cultural hype.

interviews used to give me literal panic attacks.

the night before? spiraling.
the morning of? nauseous. 
during? Just... surviving.

but after sitting through 30+ final rounds and 50+ first-round interviews (yeah, that's A LOT), I finally cracked a system that works.

and the best part? it takes less than 60 minutes to prep.

no all-nighters. no overthinking. 
just a structured, foolproof framework I can actually vouch for.

swipe through for the exact breakdown. 👉

60 min interview guide

I celebrated the most unexpected start to the year...

And honestly? I couldn't be happier about it. 😇

No, it wasn't about partying till 3am or counting down with champagne in hand...

It was something I didn't even know I needed.

After almost 10 years, I went on a family trip - to one of the most sacred temples in India. 

Just us. No agenda, no rush. Just... presence.

And here's what surprised me most:

Being close to God, to that kind of energy, gave me a peace I forgot existed. ✨

It's funny how it works, isn't it?

Leaving things in the hands of the universe while still doing your part - working hard, showing up, putting in the effort - somehow feels lighter than overthinking every possible outcome and spiraling into anxiety about the future. 😌

I think I've finally entered that season of life where I'm learning to trust something bigger than my plans.

Where even when things don't go my way, I'm slowly becoming okay with it. 

Because I know, deep down - that maybe the 
PLAN FOR ME IS BIGGERR than what I can see right now.

And what a blessing it is to have something magnetic to rely on. Something beyond yourself. 

I don't know what's coming next for me this year.
But I'm ready to embrace it. Whatever it is.

Because I'm trusting myself. 
And I'm trusting the universe to do some pretty amazing things.

So if there's one note you need to start this new year on, let it be this:

DO THE WORK. SHOW UP. PUT IN THE EFFORT! 💞🧿

But also? Let go. 
Trust the timing. 
Believe that what's meant for you won't miss you.

You're exactly where you need to be. 🫶🏻

P.S. What's helping you trust the process this year? I'd genuinely love to know. 🤭
