 “Be your own boss” – story of Pablo from Chile

“I am CEO, producer and cleaning-lady at PABLOSLAM. I don’t have a boss, I am my own boss” –  this is how he started presentation about his start-up.

Pablo Campos was born in Chile, when he was a little boy his family moved to Venezuela. He decided to study graphic design and then worked for several years in Venezuela in big advertisements companies such as Saatchi&Saatchi. Several years ago, he moved to Hungary to Budapest and worked there in similar corporations. However, occupying even high positions such as creative director, Pablo did not feel satisfaction from what he was doing. Therefore he took a decision to start his own business.

Being a graphic designer and a film maker, Pablo created a company which produces  digital, animation and films for the clients. He confesses that it was very hard at the beginning to start own business in the other country, lot of paper  work made him look for a help. So he found the external advisor company which helped him to manage all the issues related to the registration,  fulfilling formal requirements and other details with his business to starts.

Sharing his experience in running own company, Pablo says that good communication skills and networking  plays crucial role in such business. However, his considerable experience in big corporation now helps him in getting clients and new orders.

What drives him in his work is big enthusiasm, simple approach and openness  to the world. “Look at me  – I don’t take myself too serious, and I am happy with that”, – says Pablo.

In the capital of Ukraine they both worked in the advertisement companies and know very well how to attract clients and to promote the brand.
