Varejes: Morningside/Sandton and unfortunately there's not much time for play. I'm trying to get this right.
Varejes: Working in a vibrant industry with a great team of people. The better the team, the better it makes you look. Always look to get people in your space who are better than you are.
Varejes: Challenging and really enjoyable, with many ups and downs. I've had the opportunity to work with great business, marketing, sales and operations people.
Varejes: A burger at the Hard Rock Café; walking into the offices and seeing our sales teams at work; and a great cheesecake!
Varejes: Every day brings its challenges, which vary day by day so there's no time to slack off.
Varejes: Getting certain clients to call back after leaving messages for them. Getting ADEX to classify their OOH segments correctly so we can show the industry that OOH really accounts for 11.8% of adspend and not the 4.6% that ADEX shows!
Varejes: The days vary dramatically but MEETINGS is the one word that stands out. I'm trying really hard to make them client-related rather than internal.
Varejes: Being as creative and innovative as we can, whilst making sure that our core business flourishes.
Varejes: I think we all get it right in different ways. The OOH space is challenging and with the adspend now sitting at 11.8% in OOH, we are a dynamic bunch of operators from transit media to shopping malls, washrooms, salons, pharmacies, golf courses and many more areas of convergence.
Varejes: These responses!
11. Tell us some of the buzzwords floating around in your industry at the moment, and some of the catchphrases you utter yourself.Varejes: Brainstorming with the team at the office. One idea leads to the next, and before you know it we have a solution... most of the time.
Varejes: Managing to make a few whiskies last at functions without getting too wrecked. It doesn't always work, though!
Varejes: I'm not sure, at least I got the selfie right!
Varejes: Quite a few apps that mostly don't get used, and a ton of photos.
Varejes: Put in the hours and never say die. Tomorrow is a new day; tomorrow is a better day.
