The M2S Series: Say Hola To Shimona, DYT’s Client Manager
When we started the M2S series, we’d just realised that people make the company. After COVID hit, this inherent truth was hammered in further. So, here’s introducing another pivotal human behind Do Your Thng.
Getting To Know Person 4 Of DYT: Shimona
If you want to know Shimona, you should get to know Shyla. They’re two bodies that share one soul.
Or you could picture someone with innate kindness, unflinching perseverance and really, really long hair who tackles everyone with sheer aplomb and humility.
That’s Shimona.
Also, somewhere under a complicated strata of creativity, quick thinking and energy hopped up on Red Bull lies the undisputed winner of Taboo.
That’s not to say she doesn’t have flaws. She does!
While we’ll be stifling yawns of gargantuan dimensions without our cup of joe, Shimona doesn’t do coffee.
Yes, no coffee. Can you imagine? The rare instances she does have it lead to sleepless nights spent twiddling thumbs.
Catching our drift?
Moving right along, here are a few other things about Shimona to get you better acquainted…
Her Official Designation
If we lived in a world where Rolodex was still a thing, Shimona’s index card would say Client & Campaign Manager.
Her Unofficial & Much More Important Position
But we live in a world where Rolodex is incorrectly read as Rolex by most of us. So, here’s the actual role of Shimona: She is a problem solver.
Legend has it that there is no wrinkle that Shimona can’t iron. And if it takes some creative thinking to get there, then even better.
(Do not ask how creative. Let your imagination fly!)
Her Monday Face
We. Never. Get. To. See. It.
All we see is a screen as black as the inside of a cat.
Since all of us are still working from home, we connect virtually. And Shimona blithely (and intelligently) chooses to keep the camera turned off.
Now ask us what’s her Monday voice? It’s bouncing off the walls because her energy levels are at 100.
Her Saturday Face
If you thought Monday morning would be the only time Shimona’s camera is off, think again. It’s off on Saturday too. But we’ve taken that as par for the course.
What’s genuinely confounding is that when most of us are barely hanging by a thread, her energy levels are still off the charts.
What’s Her Bread + Butter?
Maggi with butter, Maggi with chicken, Maggi with mushroom.
Maggie — in all forms. It’s both sustenance and a guilty pleasure for her.
What The Team Thinks About Her
“Her never say never attitude will take her a long way.”
If only we had a penny for every time someone said those words for Shimona. We’d be rich AF, but still stuck at home; cause corona.
Also, she can be frustrated, angry and downright pi$$ed off, yet her cultured tone and politeness will not clue you in!
What The Team ‘Really’ Thinks About Her
Chronologically, she is one of the youngest members of the team. Emotionally, she is one of the oldest. Even though her entire team is older than her, not once will you be able to guess it.
The level of maturity Shimona has cramped in her handful of years is astounding. Maybe that’s the secret to her dedication and competence?
And we think you’re unrecognisable without your glasses (damn that Lasik)!
What She Brings To Do Your Thng?
Disney has Mickey Mouse. Nirma has the girl. We have Peppy.
That’s Shimona’s pet and our brand mascot.
But pet and pet stories aside, Shimona brings a lot to the DYT table — the reason for her exponential growth. She joined as a content executive and currently holds a managerial position thanks to her kicka$$ communication and out of the box thinking.
What DYT Brings To Her?
Shimona says, “DYT brings her campaigns and more campaigns. And not to forget a bunch of deadlines.”
Well Shimona, when you’re a whizz at building rapport with clients, that’s what happens.
