A Life In Marketing
This is a podcast about working in marketing. In each episode we chat to marketing experts about their careers and experiences. We interview guests from a wide variety of backgrounds, including in-house marketeers, consultants, and senior staff from top agencies. Some are entrepreneurial, some enjoy corporate life, and others enjoy flexible freelancing. We speak to leading voices in public relations (PR), content creation, and a wide range of digital marketing roles covering both business-to-business (B2B) and consumer marketing.
Whether you are mid-career, or just embarking on a life in marketing, our discussions will provide insight, advice, and inspiration for your development.
The podcast is hosted by Dr Hanne Knight (University of Plymouth) and Dr Tom Bowden-Green (Bristol Business School, UWE Bristol). Contact us at Hanne.Knight@plymouth.ac.uk or Tom.Bowden-Green@uwe.ac.uk.
