Disclaimer: I joke a lot about the time I spent marketing potatoes, just because of the way it sounds

My real name is Ryan Campbell Edward (hence campedgy.com), and I'm 26, currently living in Edinburgh. As you may have guessed, Marketing is my trade.

I just recently moved to Edinburgh from Paris. I took up an eCommerce Executive position as soon as I arrived to improve my digital marketing skills during these turbulent times. Now that I'm confident in my digital skills and have settled down, I would like to establish myself within a meaningful and ambitious company.

I grew up in a multicultural environment, but I’m originally from Fife. My parents moved to the south of France when I was 9 in 2004. I’ve spent my life between both countries, adapting to different languages, communication codes and lifestyles. One of the only things I haven’t dared mix up is the cuisine: haggis & snails is probably pretty rough...

I went on to obtain a baccalaureate in French literature, and dived into higher education to study international business and Mandarin to reach graduate level. Thankfully, I was exposed to Marketing throughout the curriculum, that’s when I began to grow interested in it. So I chose to do a postgrad at Edinburgh Napier where I graduated from an MSc in Marketing at the end of August 2018.

Rugby is my cup of tea

Sports had never really been a huge thing for me growing up. But my Dad instilled one family ritual when we moved: watch every rugby game where Scotland faced France.

I’ve played amateur rugby for 2 years now and I currently run with CRC XV in Paris. You learn to be a link in something that’s bigger than yourself. You’re pushed and have the responsibility to surpass yourself, your physical limits and fears for the benefit of the team. Respect is a biggy too, for yourself, your team and your foes. That’s what I love about the game.

At a more primitive level, I enjoy distributing tackles too.

We go way back, playing guitar was my first ever leisure-passion. Conversely to sports, the arts and precisely music has always been a major thing in my life.
‍
I started playing when I was 12, played in a band and done a few amateur gigs. I decided the exposure of playing publically wasn’t really for me and so I prefer to massacre legendary riffs from the safety of my own room.
‍
I reaped a few valuable life lessons from the guitar and autodidactism. One: Perseverance is key. Two: Good can be better than perfect. Three: Technique is taught, style is unique. Four: The journey is important, the goal is secondary.

I'm my inner-child

I don’t take myself too seriously. I know my imperfections, and don’t pretend to be more than I am. I jump on the big rides at Disneyland too.

Learn to unlearn

What’s true today won’t be tomorrow. I’m a big believer of how knowing what you actually don’t can get you to reach new heights

Risk it

You’ll learn more failing than doing nothing. Calculated risk is the beating heart of entrepreneurship and business.

Risk it

Respect

I strive to give it unconditionally. Mine isn’t earned and can’t be lost
