Education
Business Management
-
At University I completed a 4 year course, which included 1 year in Industry.
Structured modules throughout the degree taught how to create sustainable business, how businesses compete in a highly competitive and globalised market.
Primarily, I was taught the constant changes required by businesses to position and re-invent themselves to succeed the threats of competitors in a rapidly changing globalised industry,
This theory was then put into practise during my year in industry. I was a talent manager for music artists specialising within the electronic genre of music. I also assisted an LA based record label with marketing and strategising UK outreach, to maintain communication with existing fans and to attract further press and following.
