Wow, congratulations! That experience with Tokens 24 had to be really nice for you. It's good that there was someone smart who appreciated your work. ;)
I had quite a funny experience with one of my articles. At that time I was still working as a salesman in a call center. My boss asked me if I wanted to write an article for a special gala for e-commerce. I said so and wrote a very honest article. Unfortunately, it did not present call center companies in a good light.
However, it had a different mission. I described how thanks to working in these firms you can create your own business and develop it.
Before the gala I received a phone call if I can confirm my participation.
At this event it turned out that my article received the main prize. It was also printed in a magazine for marketers and published on several portals.
The worst thing was that I became an AMBASADOR CALL CENTER for the whole year! I didn't have any duties, it was just a title, but for me it was like a punishment for that moment. 😂But it was the same year in which I left the job and started to be the boss for myself.
The article is in Polish, it contains my name and surname, so I do not attach any links.
