Taking a Break with the #BluCrew – Ep. 4: Avin

This week’s episode of “Taking a break with The #BluCrew” we catch up with Avin, a member of our marketing team. Avin talks us through his experience working as a splash tech to securing a spot on our marketing team. To hear more about Avin’s journey at Blu tune into ep.4 We are also really proud of what we have been doing for the community during COVID-19 including disinfecting services.

“Alright, my name is Avin Hannah Smith. Yes, that’s two last names right there. I’ve been with Blu for a year and three months. I am a social media coordinator and my favorite part about working with Blu… I wanna say, it’s working with the marketing team, definitely.”

I remember my first cleaning job was at this hotel, with like 8 other splash techs, and you know most of them survived, they survived the cleaning and they still work with us today. And what happened was the social media coordinator at the time, Diamonde, she had asked me if I wanted to try out the position, just train me for it and see how it went. From there just took off and I’m still here and I just want to see how it goes.

 Well, I think the transition between cleaning and being a social media coordinator it was a hard transition for me because I was used to cleaning I was used to just… I was used to just going in knowing what to do what the scope of work and then the critical thinking something happened out of the ordinary but if it was ordinary I would go about it the way I normally would unless I have to try a new different solution you know, but then as I am moving to the coordinator position I had to think a lot more a lot of strategies really think about the brand thinking about what to say in public, making sure that what we’re saying isn’t going against anything and contradictions no problem with clients or anything so it’s really changed a lot it changed me, honestly.

 I feel like, I feel like social media is… it’s a monster let’s put it that way. It’s this monster that once you know how to talk to it is absolutely the best thing you can do for your business or anything that you are very passionate about you can put it out there and find a community that’s what we did. Blu has a community online now and people follow us they like what we do and I just want to keep that going actually I wanna get closer to our community.

Having this specific Niche in social media teaches you that you have to be resilient you have to be persistent you have to be consistent and you have to like try your best to make cleaning even more interesting than it is because it’s already interesting especially in this era where we live now in today’s date. Cleaning is paramount like I mean there’s nothing more to say but for social media and you have to go an extra step. People want to know who it is that’s using these techniques that are protecting everyone and I think that’s what social media’s heading out before it was pretty much just a game of before and after you know what does very stagnant so emotionless depending on the CEO of course of that company so. I think that Blu on social media is definitely we’ve got a grasp on it we just want to understand our peers more and see what they’re doing and even help them out because we are cleaning that cares.

So I remember on our story I had said good morning and like I put up a little quote you know about like achieving your dreams and then I showed off what I was working on and it’s my laptop and at the time I was animating something for a video we had and I remember there was a couple of comments from other cleaning companies they said that they love seeing artists work in these fields and like you know knowing that we’re out there and it really encouraged me you know it gave me the motivation to do better and for me to create more because people want to see it people appreciate that they appreciate your passion’s coming through your job.

What I like about Blu is that they have given me the opportunity to shine and grow in a setting I’ve never been in before they gave me a chance with something I would never ever done so Blu Commercial Cleaning thank you so much because I mean without Blu Commercial cleaning I’m not sure where I would be right now.”
