In participants' words
I'm hoping we'll become one big, warm, close-knit team — making mistakes and figuring things out together.
I used to think marketing was simple — people who are interested just show up and buy. This program taught me how much more there is to it.
I want to combine what I'm studying with real marketing knowledge — and get a clearer sense of who I want to become.
Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen.
