We have seen Delia Farizath in multiple
TV shows, films, commercials and theater over the years, but what we didn't
know about her, was that she is also pretty brainy -with a successful career as
a management consultant. Don’t be fooled just by her gorgeous looks, there is a
lot more to Delia than meets the eye. We recently caught up with her and to
find out more about her interesting background and this is what she had to say:
What have you learned
the most about being in LA?
Los Angeles is a beautiful city with some of the most modern
architecture and beautiful landscapes. In this city, you will find multicultural
variety in arts and entertainment. The museums offer incredibly unique concepts
that can only be found here. This is the mecca of the movie industry, art,
fashion and music bringing opportunities for almost everyone. Events like the
Oscars, the Grammy’s are world known events that only happen here. Thanks to this,
I can see that businesses are always booming around the corner and due to
its people diversity and international trade is a must to keep up with the
competition. With this fast-paced society, I’ve learned to be more organized
with my schedule, due mostly to the traffic in this city. People are very
humble and upfront, so it is important to give a good impression with professionalism
because you never know who you might end up meeting. I’ve traveled around to many
countries and lived in different cities such as New York, Shanghai, Hong Kong,
Panama and Mexico and I find this city unique with unlimited growth
opportunity.
Was it hard to adjust?
Not really -and due to my previous experiences living in busy
cities around the world, I find it quite easy.
You are also a
successful marketing and PR consultant in your country.
How does that compare
with being in the entertainment business?
For me, being part of the entertainment industry gives me an
understanding of the multicultural society based on human behavior which
is an essential part that plays a role in the development of new products
-and also gives me an understanding in how marketing becomes the
foundation core for all businesses looking to increase exposure and sales. With
my studies and background experience, I feel it increases my participation in
the business industry that entitles my careers.
I understand you were
also a part of big political campaigns tell us that:
Being part of political campaigns has given me the experience of
interacting and interpreting how people express themselves. How a candidate
relates to potential voters, by first understanding their needs and properly
relating and communicating with them. People want an equal opportunity for
success and it is up to the candidate how he or she expresses their plan and
action to potential voters. Good communication to achieve a personal connection
are key for every successful campaign.
What do you like the
most about being in the marketing field?
Is it something you
always wanted to do?
Marketing is a field in which you can never get enough of. The
challenges of the industry allow me to be the best that I can be. It’s a field
in which creativeness combined with my BA in Logistics has proved to be a major
factor delivering great results in every project I have been involved with.
With logistics you can analyze, forecast and set goals delivering a complete
recap of achievements. During my career, I knew that marketing would go hand in
hand with my logistics skills and I knew that my studies were going to come in
handy someday. So, now it has been proven.
What’s your best piece
of advice to other women in business and also to young girls to get into this
field?
First, I would advise that education is a key to success and the
more you know the better chance you would have to achieve higher goals. Don’t
be afraid to ask and always be upfront with your answers. Business Consulting
is a very challenging field so you never burn your bridges, build trust and
don’t be afraid to take risks. Be as organized as possible with your projects,
always keep a log of flaws to achieve success. This world is very challenging
for women, so you always have to give your 110% percent of dedication, commitment,
and honesty.
