review our courses to ensure they are practical and
industry relevant. In my role as European Brand Communications Director,
I am responsible for leading the creation of any running,
sportswear or women’s focused advertising that comes
out of Nike Europe. I partner with specialists in brand
planning, digital, retail, media, and design to deliver a
holistic marketing approach for the Nike brand in Europe.
My advice to anyone considering a career in business
would be to seek out an internship and offer to work
somewhere for free. There’s nothing like learning on the job.
Not only will that experience help you with your studies, but
you’ll hopefully start to work out what you might like to do
after you graduate.

My advice to future students is to keep all your options
open. Don’t think about your degree as a means to get
a particular job or to join a certain profession. The lines
between roles are constantly being blurred and chances
are your future career doesn’t even exist yet. Instead,
think of it as an opportunity to upskill in the areas you’re

broad range of experiences and networks will always have
