WE ARE LIVE IN:
You're Invited: Our Final Student Event of the Year
You’ve learned the theory in the classroom, now it’s time to see what marketing really looks like in the industry.
We know how hard it can be to figure out what different roles involve, or where you might fit once you graduate. Marketing isn't linear, and there's so many areas you can specialise in. That’s why we’ve created an event to give you the inside scoop straight from people who’ve been where you are now.
📅 16 October
Join a panel of marketing pros from different industries as they share what it’s really like in their world:
- Sam Stuchbury, Motion Sickness – indie agency with some of NZ’s best award-winning social and digital campaigns
- PJ Morris, Fletcher Building – on what makes B2B unique and exciting at a large brand
- Brendan Speakman, Air NZ - on the opportunities within Analytics and AI
- Amelia Cranfield, Campfire Digital Recruitment – a recruiter’s tips on how to get your foot in the door!
This is your chance to:
✅ Get real-world insights you won’t find in a textbook
✅ Ask your questions directly to professionals
✅ Start building your network (because your network is your net worth!)
Whether you’re graduating soon or still a few years away, this event will help you feel more confident about what’s next.
👉 Don’t just learn about marketing. Come see how it works.
