Whose intro surprised you the most? Why?

Discussion 

“Imagine this: You’re standing in an elevator and suddenly the CEO of your dream company walks in. You’ve got 30 seconds to introduce yourself and make an impression. What would you say?” “What kind of things would you mention in those 30 seconds?” “Would you talk about your experience? Your interests? Your goals?”

Examples of an elevator pitch

Example 1 (simple)

Hi, my name is [Your Name]. I’m a marketing manager, and I like finding simple solutions to difficult problems. I have experience in digital marketing, content strategy, and branding.

I enjoy working with ideas and visuals, and I love storytelling in marketing. I’m curious and like to understand how things work. I also ask a lot of questions and work better when I know why I’m doing something.

I often see small details that other people miss, and I’m good at explaining things in a clear way. I like bringing order to messy situations and learning new things all the time.

I’m always happy to meet new people and share ideas.

Example 2 (more advanced)

Hi, I’m [Your Name], and I’m a marketing manager who loves finding simple solutions to complex problems. I have a background in design and experience in digital marketing, with a main focus on content strategy and branding.

I enjoy working with visuals and ideas, and I’m passionate about storytelling — especially when it helps shape a brand’s voice. I’ve worked on creative campaigns, branding projects, and market research, always curious about how things work and how consumers think.

I tend to notice what others might overlook, and I’m good at explaining complex ideas in a simple, structured way. I like bringing order to chaos and asking the kinds of questions that get to the core of a task.

I work best when I understand the “why” behind what I’m doing. I’m always eager to learn, grow, and connect with others — because I believe great marketing starts with curiosity and clear thinking.
