How I Accidentally Changed My Life with a "Random" Job Application

Full disclosure, I applied at TransBiz on a pure whim. I’d been stuck in a stagnant, repetitive cycle in my former line of work, and was suffering from debilitating anxiety and depression that the pandemic made worse. Little did I know that TransBiz would turn my life around 180 degrees.

See, other companies try so hard to be what TransBiz is. I quickly discovered that it’s not your typical marketing agency. It’s a full-service eCommerce growth machine with a focus on the Amazon marketplace, and it’s fueled by a mission to create purposeful brands that inspire not only its customers, but also its employees. A vision that they all genuinely share, from the CEO to the juniors.

I never knew that it was possible to come to work inspired and ready to challenge myself every single day, but TransBiz surprised me at every turn. Keep reading and I’ll spill the beans on what I mean.

The Surprise that TransBiz Was

On my first day, I discovered that I was not surrounded by merciless perfectionists. My colleagues were warm-hearted people who had their own challenges, but they were all learning how to pick themselves and their teammates up and keep going. Mental health seminars and a culture of self-improvement are efforts that TransBiz spearheads very strongly; they’re not simply out of formality or for show.

Imagine a work culture that spans from user research and effective web design to performance analysis and optimization, but run with a team of entrepreneurial-minded people you can rely on. Every alignment meeting feels like that dream group project where everyone actually gives a damn about creating something amazing.

A great example is this kiddie dental flosser brand that I absolutely loved working on because it challenged my creativity. I suggested that we lean more into the cute characters the products were shaped as, and to turn the account into a resource for gentle parenting material.

Since then, the cartoon mascots of the brand have come to life and regularly make cameo appearances in our featured influencer photos. The social media pages of the brand itself have become more than just a promotional channel; they’re now a treasure trove of resources for parents who want fun bonding material with their kids, gentle parenting hacks, and bite-sized dental hygiene tips for tiny teeth.
