Visibility, Influence and Impact

Today I am talking to Sema Martin who is a full-time artist living in the South of France. Before becoming an artist Sema worked as an Aerospace engineer and interned at the NASA Ames Research Centre in California.

Sema achieved two master's degrees in aerospace and space engineering and was about to pursue my PhD when she rediscovered her love of art. In 2016 Sema launched a pet portrait commission business with the help of social media and decided to leave her engineering career behind and pursue her true passion.

In May 2020 Sema published my first book called 'Art is my career - How to start an art business' which has now sold over 2,000 copies. Sema is passionate about showing the world that art can be a real career and should be respected as much as engineering careers are.

After a few requests, it is a special solo episode to round out 2021!

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Jane McKay, a marketing consultant and coach who has been in the business of marketing for more than fifteen years.

Armed with a bachelor of arts and a masters in media and communications, I worked my way from junior copywriter to marketing manager in a range of roles in corporate Melbourne until 2009 when my husband and I made a treechange to the sunny wilds of Bruthen, East Gippsland and Jane McKay Communications was born.

Harnessing all I’d learned in my corporate career, my original plans to ‘just’ be a freelance copywriter soon transformed into delivering copywriting, content creation, print design, website design, social media and marketing strategist and the evolution continues today.

There’s no need to hire a designer, a copywriter, a website designer, a graphic designer, a social media strategist, a marketing strategist and a content coach: I provide my clients with holistic and comprehensive marketing solutions that feel completely aligned with their personal brand.
