Why This Neurocrine Marketer Is Anything But Boring
- by Lisa Singer , Staff Writer, August 15, 2024
Neurocrine Bioscience's Emily Simasek talks about teamwork, embracing the unexpected, and her early aspirations to become a pop star.
I've had the opportunity to connect with and learn from executives of major brands at MediaPost's Insider Summits. In the process I've discovered some truly impressive women -- not only for the work they do, but their stories behind the scenes. With Brand Insider: BTS, I get to pull back the curtain on some of the most influential women marketers as they talk about their path to success: the twists and turns, obstacles, inspirations and the valuable lessons learned along the way.
In this episode of Brand Insider: BTS, Emily Simasek, Neurocrine Bioscience’s associate marketing director, admits to early on being a people pleaser until she realized being authentic and developing a strong voice and clear purpose are what truly matters. She talks about wanting to be part of the solution for patients that get overlooked, and believes her experience growing up with her sister deeply influenced that commitment. Emily also shares her love for national parks, reality TV (can you guess which show,) and the overwhelming experience that left her on the floor eating pizza in the dark…it was actually a good thing! You can watch the entire conversation above.
