Employee Spotlight: Myranda Dikos

At Liberty Creative Solutions (LCS), we pride ourselves on fostering a collaborative and supportive environment where each team member's journey and growth are celebrated. This month, we’re excited to spotlight Myranda, a dedicated marketing specialist who has made a significant impact since joining the LCS in May 2023. 

From Intern to Marketing Specialist 

Myranda's journey at LCS began as a marketing intern while she was still completing her bachelor's degree. “When I first started, I began as a marketing intern,” she recalls. “I spent a lot of my internship hitting the ground running with social media efforts and digital and printed marketing materials.” This proactive approach not only helped establish the foundation of our marketing department but also showcased her commitment and potential. 

After completing her degree in August, Myranda transitioned to a full-time marketing specialist role. In this capacity, she has continued to expand LCS's marketing efforts across various platforms. Her work includes, copywriting, blog posts, social media management, brand partnerships, and email marketing. Myranda also played a crucial role in the collaborative effort of redesigning our website. Myranda’s ability to adapt and grow with the company has been invaluable, and her contributions have significantly shaped our marketing strategy. 

A Passion for Community and Collaboration 

One of the things Myranda values most about working at LCS is the strong sense of community. “My favorite part of working at LCS is the people here,” she shares. “I have made lifelong friendships with coworkers here, and the company culture not only makes it enjoyable to come to work each day but really aids in interdepartmental communication, which is crucial to the success of the company.” This sense of camaraderie extends beyond the office, as the team frequently gathers for dinners, bingo nights, and even family events. 

Myranda's description of her team as "supportive and goal-oriented" reflects the collaborative spirit at LCS. She often works closely with LCS’s designers to bring our projects to life. She appreciates the smooth communication and workflow within the LCS Team, stating, “Everyone is always willing to step up and help out when needed, and we’re there to bounce ideas off of each other until a project is perfect.” 

 Beyond the Office: A Heart for Animals 

Outside of her professional life, Myranda has a deep love for animals. She actively fosters animals in need, volunteers at local events, and even does freelance social media and marketing outreach for local shelters. 'Something my coworkers may not know about me is how much I love animals! I have two golden retrievers named Gracie and Gus who are my pride and joy, and when I’m at home, you will always find me snuggled up with them!'  

Looking Ahead: Growth and Ambition 

As Myranda looks to the future, she has set her sights on further developing her graphic design skills. “My goals for the next few months are to dive deeper into improving my graphic design skills,” she notes. While she has a solid foundation in Photoshop and Canva, Myranda is eager to expand her knowledge and create more print-ready graphics with other programs, like InDesign. 

When asked what she wishes more people understood about her role, she explained, “I wish people understood that it’s not all social media work! There are so many projects that go beyond it, integrating print, social, and promotional strategies to create a complete marketing approach.”  

Advice for Aspiring Professionals 

Reflecting on her journey, Myranda offers valuable advice to her younger self and to others entering the field: “Never stop learning! Ask questions, seek mentors, read books, and be open to hearing other’s stories. Learning from the experiences of others is so valuable and will only help you progress on your goals and ambitions.” 

Myranda’s story is a testament to the power of curiosity, hard work, and a supportive work environment. We’re grateful to have her as part of the LCS Team and look forward to seeing her continue to grow and thrive in her role.
