Our first Marketing Symposium - a success!

First: A big Thank you to everybody who came to see the symposium and supported us. Many of you told us, that we did a great job and you enjoyed the evening and found the lectures inspiring and interesting.

Of course we also want to thank Roberta Ramsden-Knowles, Diego Santana and Richard Philip who made this Symposium happening in first place by giving us some hours of their time.

Richard, Managing Director of First Concept, started the evening as a WBS MAMC Almuni himself and told us about his life and work as an entrepreneur and how postgraduate students in marketing can start out in their professional life. Don’t forget: never ask how much holidays or Christmas bonus you get, BEFORE you even have the job :)

Diego, a young marketing manager from the Chilean wine company Concha  y Toro, gave us an detailed and interesting insight in his work, especially according to the wine brand Casillero Del Diablo and the kind of marketing mix they use for marketing it.

Roberta from reputation strategy and management consultancy Regester Larkin Limited closed the Symposium with a highly interesting presentation on her daily business, using case studies and examples. Now each and everyone of us knows the difference between an issue and a crisis.

The presentation have been followed by an open discussion between the three lecturers of the evening, students and professors and a little get together with nice refreshments sponsored by the uni.

If you missed this wonderful evening, don’t be sad! You will have another opportunity on December 1st, where we organised the second Marketing Symposium with brand new and amazing lecturers. Details will be published soon on this blog, your new information source!
