Mark Masai shares 2 valuable learnings 6 months after leaving NTV

Former NTV News anchor Mark Masai has opened up about the valuable lessons he learned after leaving the newsroom following a 14-year career.

Now serving as the Director of Public Relations at Professional Marketing Services (PMS GROUP), Masai shared his insights and experiences, emphasizing the importance of embracing change and discovering one's personal brand.

Masai acknowledged the initial shock but highlighted the inevitability of life's unpredictability noting that life was not fair to anyone.

"There's nothing really fair in life, so if you look out and expect life to be fair to you, who do you think you are?" he said.

Moreover, Masai emphasized that no one's life should be solely defined by their employer. His departure from TV journalism provided him with a unique opportunity to unveil the magnitude of his individual brand.

"It was a shocker what happened because I was not going to be in the newsroom forever, but it wasn't according to my timing but I am actually in touch with my brand and myself and going out there and there is good feedback from the market and I have appreciated that my value is so much bigger than I thought," Masai explained.
