Are you a young woman who needs daily access to high-paying gigs?

Hello, Buddy!
Too many things are happening that it's difficult to take a breath from one heartbreaking event before another drops.😢
From rising dollar rates to an OAU zookeeper murdered by a Lion, and then another impending ASUU revolt – can we get a break, please?😴
At least, it's raining in Lagos today and the heat subsided.😮💨
I have a challenge for you (if you keep scrolling), and here's to hoping that our creativity can keep us sane, at least.

12 Designers' portfolios that could get you jealous
Thanks for your help so far!
The number of new subscribers we had in the past week just goes to show how much you care. (Thank youuuuuu!)
Now, we have something special dropping soon, and it would drop faster and better if we hit more numbers.
All you have to do is share the subscription link with as many as you know and get them to subscribe.
It will only take a few seconds, I promise.
Thank you! 👍
THE BIG IDEA
Creating For, Marketing To, And Managing A Gen Z Audience
Your POV: You are a creative in Marketing with a Gen Z audience. It looks quite fun and easy (because the Internet is flooded with these guys and you may even be one yourself). Until you get to the nitty-gritty of marketing and discover that you may need to cry out for help if you really want to meet your KPIs.
My POV: I read a marketer's guide to Gen Z and I totally recommend reading it, if you are a social media manager or content marketer. It demystifies that age bracket; who they are and how to get to them through your creative marketing.
Take your time…
