Marketing Club Welcome Tea: Connect with the Industry!

by Narmin Tartila

The much awaited Marketing Club Welcome Tea was finally held on 1 September 2010, at the very home of the NUS Business cohort, Mochtar Riady Building. What could be better, the event was teamed with an internship sharing session! MBA students who had landed internships at coveted companies were invited to speak and interact with the new batch of MBA Club Members.

Much to the delight of the participants, the interns represented mainstream corporates as well as start-up companies. Lokesh Malik from Dell and Melody Lee from Johnson & Johnson spoke at length regarding their first hand experiences in the corporate world of Singapore. Luke Donnelly, who started his career at a start up venture named iTwin, opened the possibilities of experiencing work life in a different field. Moreover, there was ample opportunity for the newly recruited Marketing Club members to mingle with the interns and gain tips of the trade!

Events such as this provide a platform for members to mingle with each other to share events, stories and experiences pertaining to their common passion – Marketing! Moreover, they also get an opportunity to rub shoulders with seniors in the job field and thereby cement the bond between the Club Members and the Marketing community.
