Meet Kukua Blankson, Market Analyst at AGS

I remember how happy I was when I received my job offer as a Market Analyst. I was excited to work at AGS and within Market Analytics especially, because of how interesting and enjoyable the interviews had been. I was proud that the interview skills I learnt throughout university, and especially being active on LinkedIn, helped me to secure this role.

From my first day, I was very aware of how much there was to learn about the company and the analytics division especially, but my manager and the team really put me at ease. I was able to assist on real projects and listen into client calls from the beginning, and this helped me to understand the scope of the role and the importance of the consultative work that we do.

The feedback and advice I have received during my first few months has given me confidence in my abilities and knowledge as I have started to handle my own clients and projects, while knowing I can always reach out for help. I’m so pleased with the work that I've produced so far and taking the lead on custom research projects and analysis for several large clients has been very rewarding.

One of the best things about working at AGS is the culture and warm reception from everyone that I've met. I knew networking was important when starting my career, but it never once felt like an effort as people are always willing to chat and answer my many questions. I've thoroughly enjoyed getting to know so many different people and departments in the company. It's brilliant to feel so connected to a team that is usually remote and it makes getting together for happy hour after a day in the office even more special!
