Say hello to Nate Johnson, the newest planner at mag! We’re very happy to welcome you, Nate! Find out more about him:

Tell us abit about yourself!

I was born on the small Caribbean island of Barbados, where I lived until I was 6 years old. My family then moved to Miami, Florida until I turned 12. Then we ultimately decided to move back to my mom's home town of Darlington, in the north east of England, because why not go from tropical climates to sub-zero temperatures, am I right?!

I studied media production in York for 3 years before deciding to do an MA in Marketing at the same uni. After finishing my degree I made the move to Manchester with the hopes of bagging a job in Media City and low and behold...MAG!

What do you do in your spare time?

I’m going to let you in on some tea… I am basically the queen of Manchester. All I do in my spare time is wear my crown. Haha, just kidding. BUT what I actually do is digitally draw portraits or play League Of Legends all day because I’m a little geek at heart. And also I really can’t cook,( well I try… unsuccessfully), so I’m very skilled in ordering food!!

What made you want to join MAG?

This is going to sound so cheesy but honestly for me, MAG is the dream. Fresh from my degree ,I never thought I would be able start my career so quickly and with such a prestigious brand. What made me want to join MAG is the amount of knowledge that I know they can provide, allowing me to blossom into a media tycoon.

What will your role be within the team?

As a media planner- the core of what I do is building presentations with strategies, incorporating media insights, building quotes and more in order to bring in and educate prospective clients. But there’s much much more that I haven't even scratched the surface of-and I'm so excited to dive in.

3 random facts about yourself?

•    My afro is the crown I wear with pride.

•      I can't say the word statistics .

•   The colour pink speaks to my soul.

And lastly, what are you looking forward to the most about with MAG?

 To start developing my skills which will allow me to progress throughout my career and meeting new like-minded people.
