Hi, I graduated from Deakin with a Bachelor of Marketing a few years ago and have been working in digital marketing since then.

I’m interested in moving into a marketing management role but I’m not sure what experience or skills I should be focusing on to make that transition.

What skills do you think are vital to be successful in marketing management?

I’d really appreciate any advice. Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I ask?

Literally anything to help with your academic or professional development. There are thousands of alumni, faculty, staff and friends that can help with class projects, building and growing a startup, or figuring out career options.

What is a good question?

Think of something you are genuinely stuck on: a decision, a path, a role you can’t quite picture. One specific question gets a better answer than a broad one.

Who will see my question?

We will only share your question with a very small number of relevant Deakin alumni.

Will my questions and answers be confidential?

Your question will not be made public. It will be seen only by matched experts and a handful of administrators.
