President’s Welcome
Welcome to our first ever marketing careers guide
It is truly an exciting time to be a young marketer beginning their career.

collection of consumer data and the move towards more accountable performance measurements
presents a wealth of new opportunities. Sydney Marketing Society members can expect to work in a
diverse range of industries when they graduate, ranging from advertising, branding, market research,
public relations and sales for companies, governments, charities and more.
The choices available can seem overwhelming. This is where the SMS Careers Guide comes in. This is
your guide to the entry level positions out there, their application opening and closing dates, and the
skills and experiences sought by top employers in their own words. After reading this guide, you will be
able to:
Learn effective networking skills
Tailor your skills and experiences to the demands of top employers
Write a compelling cover letter and resume

The Marketing Sector
By Tina Tran, Careers Director
Marketing is a very broad and generic discipline. As long as there is a need to be met or a
product to be sold, there is room for a Marketing professional. More often than not students
find themselves puzzled with the myriads of jobs and careers that can be undertaken with a
degree in Marketing. Here are a few of the numerous sectors that Marketing students can
look into:
Within these sectors there are different roles that Marketing students can take on
1. Marketing Management
2. Brand and Product Management
3. Product Development
4. Marketing Research and Analysis
5. Marketing Communications
6. Sales Management and Personal Selling
7. Account Management
Imagine the number of possible combinations you can make with the above sectors and
roles, and those lists are nowhere near exhaustive. That said, Marketing students have quite
a few choices as to what area they want to enter into as a graduate as well as what they
want to do as their career. It is always a good idea for students in their penultimate or even
first years of their degree to start looking into the sort of opportunities and job prospects
available for them. Once areas of interest have been identified, it is ideal that they seek for
work placement or internships in those areas so as to gain hands-on experience working in
the industry as well as to differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack when the time
comes for graduate job applications. In general, the recent trends show that, graduates with
a good command of digital technologies, a thorough understanding of the changing market
and demography and creativity are among the most desirable for Marketing positions.

What firms seek
By Tim Diemer, Sponsorships Director
Given the breadth and diversity of the industry, it is clear that those aspiring to be successful marketers
require a range of skills and abilities. Whilst most applicants are proficient in terms of general business
and commercial acumen, these days firms demand more. To gain employment at top marketing
companies such as UM, McNair Ingenuity, Cathay Pacific and Reckitt Benckiser, potential candidates
need to show evidence of the following attributes:
Although these may somewhat state the obvious, they reflect the fact that the marketing discipline is
both much more dynamic and people-driven than various other fields of study. Hence, those that excel
are generally well-rounded individuals with a distinct ability to adapt and innovate. For instance, Cathay
Pacific (page 26) seeks people who are motivated, able to learn new things quickly and highly
analytical. Naturally there are also specialist marketing roles which expect one to have specific skill-
sets in addition to those listed above.
Firms also look for interns and graduates that can fit well with their culture. For example, leading media
agency Universal McCann (page 63) seeks people who will share their core values of curiosity,
bravery, pioneering and excellence.
In terms of experience, most forms of previous employment are viewed favourably, especially so in
regards to white-collar work. McNair Ingenuity (page 54) gives preference to students who have
worked on a casual basis in their call centre. Having already been part of an office environment within a
similar industry is generally seen as a big plus. However, companies also look for students that have
participated in various extracurricular activities over the course of their studies. Whether sport,
university society involvement or even charity work, all these provide great examples to would-be
employers of how one has demonstrated the above mentioned skills and attributes.

Effective Networking
By Mark Salzman, Careers Director
Networking events, such as the Sydney Marketing Society‟s Industry Night are a great way to figure what you want to do after graduation
Networking events
Attending events run by university societies such as SMS, will give you a number of opportunities to network with a
variety of industry representatives. These events will help to build your confidence in communicating with industry
representatives in a professional manner. There is no need to be nervous, as at this stage there is no job on the
line, or anyone to impress. Networking events are also run by industry associations, such as the Young
Researchers Group (YRG) and the Australian Market and Social Research Society (AMSRS) which McNair
Ingenuity (page 54) recommends getting involved in.
As you move closer to the completion of your degree, attending career‟s fairs becomes extremely important.
Careers fairs are like a showcase, where firms send representatives (and a lot of pamphlets!), and students are able
to speak to the businesses they are interested in. It is important that before you attend the career‟s fair, you
research as much as you can about the firms that interest you. While at the fair, you should not be shy. Be prepared
to introduce yourself to employers, tell them briefly about your areas of study and skills, and ask all the questions
you can.
Employers often get generic questions such as „what internships do you offer?‟ and „what skills do your look for in
your graduates?‟. The purpose of this guide is to answer these generic questions through the employer profiles
featured. Instead, you should do your research on the employer and ask more specific and intelligent questions e.g.
„what tasks would I complete as an intern?‟.
Social media
Social media is continually becoming a more relevant and useful tool for professional communication. Thus, it is
extremely important that all the actions you make while using social media are well thought through. It is advisable
to use stringent privacy settings to ensure your private life can be kept separate from your professional one. When it
is necessary to use social media in a professional setting, there are two important points to remember:
Respond quickly: When a work-mate needs a shift covered, or a group member in your tutorial is trying to
organise a time to meet, responding quickly is essential. When there is a professional network within your social
media channel, be sure you check messages daily.
Focus on representation: If you are signed into social media, there is always an opportunity to grow your brand
and show others who you are. Unfortunately, there is more of a potential downside then upside in this respect.
Inappropriate comments, posts or photos can come back to bite you, even if they can only be seen by „friends‟.
LinkedIn
When moving into the „real world‟, having an established LinkedIn profile is extremely beneficial. Your completed
LinkedIn profile should be somewhat of an open resume, which can be viewed by all your connections, as well as
„connections-of-connections‟. When you consider 65-85% of jobs are found through networking, the ability to access
hundreds of „connections-of-connections‟ is incredibly lucrative. When contacting those you don‟t know, you should
seek an online introduction from your mutual connection; this will help build trust from the outset of the new
professional relationship.

Researching Employers
By Tina Tran, Careers Director
It is recommended that students start looking into the industry and job prospects early on in their degree.
Research on the Marketing landscape and on potential employers in particular would shape students‟
decisions on what area they would want to work in and how they would set themselves apart from the
others when applying for internships and graduate positions. It is also crucial that students gather
enough information about the particular companies and organisations that they are applying for. Nothing
is worse than writing a cover letter or going into an interview not knowing enough about what the
employer is looking for and what their organisational culture is.
Naturally, the easiest way to learn about an employer is to go to networking events (of which SMS hosts
many) where their representatives will be attending. Media agency Universal McCann (page 63)
regularly sends their senior staff to select universities to encourage young people to consider a career
within a media agency. Occasionally, firms may even host a competition at university with a brief for an
advertising campaign, as Cathay Pacific (page 26) did in 2012.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when you set out on your research
Start early
It may not be the best idea to do your company research the night before you go for the
interview with your dream employer. Instead, start looking into the industry and know your
options well beforehand. You would have more time to align your portfolio- your industry
experience and skill sets- with what the employers look for. Knowing the industry landscape
also allows you to make your pick as to where you want to launch your career. At the end of
the day, you want to be able to enjoy your workplace and the people you work with. A job
description may sound attractive but is it in reality?
Learn from the experienced
Networking is not just a trend; it is inevitable and may make or break your Marketing career. The
internet and handbooks may help you to gather some background information about the
industry and potential employers, but they are in no way as insightful as contacts who actually
work in the industry. They know something that the internet and the handbooks will not be able
to tell you: the reality of the organisation. Industry contacts may be the best source of
information about the culture, the leadership style and the who‟s who of the organisation. Better
still, they may be able to introduce you to a HR contact.
Keep an eye on the external sources
Watch for what the press has to say about the organisation you are going for an interview with.
It may reveal extra information about the management of the organisation, its working culture
and relations with other parties. If interviews with management are available, make sure you
have a read or listen through it and pick up any background history you could. This may help
you to fill in the gaps during your interviews. On another note, it may also help you to decide
whether the organisation suits you and whether they are your employee of choice.

Online Applications, Cover Letters & Resumes
By Samantha Roberts, Careers Director
Now that you know everything there is to know about your chosen position it's time to apply. You could
be asked to complete an online, in person or over the phone application, regardless as your first point
of contact with a firm; you will need to make a good impression. Include in your application your
Resume, Cover Letter and if requested a statement of claims addressing relevant application criteria
and/ or your academic transcripts.
Be sure to prepare a draft application in a word document, to check spelling and grammar,
remembering this is an opportunity to demonstrate written communication skills. Similarly, by whipping
up a word document first, you are protected in case the application program doesn't allow you to save
and return the information in your resume with the job you're applying for. Remember to demonstrate
your personality and enthusiasm for the role, as well as what you expect to contribute to the
organisation. As marketing students, you should all be able to sell yourself well.
Online applications – these are often shortened versions of one to one interviews. Firms often ask
questions such as „why do you want to work for us in particular?‟, „name a time when you overcame a
challenge‟, and „what extra-cirricular activities did you pursue during university?‟. Of course, online
applications are differ for different firms – Universal McCann (page 63) asks for a point of view piece
on trends in the media industry.
The Cover Letter- Keep it brief. Cover letters should include the purpose of the letter ( i.e. state what
position(s) you are applying ), what you want the job, your specialist skills relevant to that job and then
your generic skills.
The Resume- This is a summary of your employment experience, education, extracurricular
participation and skills set. Generally your resume will be scanned in as little as 30 seconds so keep it
between 2 and 3 pages, putting your most important points on page one. Leading with a brief
description of your career objectives (the industry, position and level of the role you're seeking) will
help paint you as a focused, passionate candidate.
When it comes to your employment experiences, start with your most recent job. Don't leave any part
time or casual work out, employers want to hear about your time at Kmart and the customer service
skills you gained while there. For voluntary work, its best to list only related experience as employment
history, and the remainder under the heading; extra-curricular activities.
Finally Referees- selecting two is usually enough. A referee may be someone who knows your
academic skills set, a previous employer or a character referee who has known you for some time. For
each include the person's name, job title, the name of their organisation as well as their phone number
and email address.
Once done and dusted, print out a copy of your application to review before the interview. If you don't
get an email within 48 hours saying your application has been received, send a brief follow up
message, otherwise Good Luck!!

Psychometric Testing
By Luke Chan, Socials Director
Psychometric testing is becoming an increasingly popular assessment used by firms; usually either as an
online test in the preliminary stages or as an interview later on in the selection process. Broadly
speaking, psychometric tests are used to assess the characteristics of a person to determine the
suitability of the applicant.
Psychometric tests can be categorised as either cognitive-based or personality-based. Cognitive-based
psychometric tests measure abilities that may be related to the position. For example, a firm with a
vacant graduate position that heavily focuses upon communication and understanding may choose to
incorporate questions relating to verbal reasoning within their psychometric testing. An example of a
psychometric test is Universal McCann’s „UM Questionnaire‟, which tests the applicants‟ creative
thinking and mathematical skills (page 63).
Personality-based psychometric tests are used to assess a person‟s personality, behaviour and
preferences. In contrast to the cognitive-based questions, these do not have right or wrong answers but
are instead useful for gaining an insight into the compatibility within the workplace.
Some may be asking by now, how can we do well in psychometric testing? Here are a few tips we have
put together.
Practice
Like preparing for an exam or even an interview, it is always good to get an idea of what
to expect. There are dozens of free online psychometric tests which provide a whole
spectrum of questions which you might expect in your first assessment; from personality
questionnaires to inductive reasoning. Some sites to look into include SHL and
PsychPress.
Be yourself
Unlike cognitive-based psychometric tests, personality-based psychometric tests do not
have a „correct‟ answer and are therefore very difficult to prepare for. Often you will be
„caught out‟ if you lie as similar questions are asked throughout the assessment. It is
good to remember that the testing is also for you, to determine whether you would fit in
and enjoy the role you are applying for.
Keep an eye on the clock
Many of the tests are timed so it is important to maximise the number of points you
receive. If a question is too difficult, skip the question or take a guess and move onto the
next.

3
Take a break between tests
When doing multiple online psychometric tests, avoid doing them in succession. You
should instead take a short break between each test to recover.

Group Interviews & Assessment Centres
By Oscar Coleman, Sponsorships Director
An assessment centre is not one place. You will not find it on a map or even on the company's website.
In reality, it's an interview of a group of candidates in which team-based exercises simulating workplace
situations are the method of deciding who is the best fit for the company's corporate environment.
Assessment centres are widely used by medium and large organisations, therefore it's often best to
apply for as many graduate roles as possible in order to gain practice at distinguishing yourself as a top
candidate in a professional environment.
The most common type of activities include group activities such as problem solving, creating a
strategy, or debating; case studies in which you may have to structure a presentation and clearly
communicate to others; In-Tray exercises where you‟re given a full „in-tray‟ of memos and messages
typical of the role you are seeking and asked to prioritise, summarise and act on items within a timed
period; Technical skills assessments (see Psychometric testing); and Role plays where you need to
act out a particular work-related situation. Here are some important things to consider:
Relax and be yourself
Don't BS your personality. You'll be working in a group of roughly 10 people, not necessarily with all
Marketing applicants.
Be inclusive
If you're in a quiet group, try to include the others in discussions. If you're in a loud group, try to
make a positive contribution. Don't just talk for the sake of talking, make it meaningful and
effective. Showing good leadership is knowing when you need to step up and knowing when to be
a team player.
Think fast
There's a good chance that your presentation will be very quick, and with very little preparation.
Take all of the exercises seriously (no matter how outlandish they sound) and solve any problem
to the best of your ability.
1

3
Professional attire
Wear formal professional clothing (e.g. a suit and tie), over dressing is not an issue. Treat your
attendance as a day at the workplace.4
Be Prepared
If you have been given pre reading material prior to the Assessment Centre day - read, prepare
and understand what is asked of you. Apart from this, you cannot really study for an Assessment
Centre.

Ask for feedback
Most people don't get through on their first go. Ask for feedback if you were not successful so that
you can improve your performance in the future.

Individual Interviews
By Fiona Le, Promotions Director
Brilliant! You‟ve reached the final stage and this is it –your moment to shine. You‟ve been selected for
individual interviews, and depending on the firm, you will either be interviewed by one person or a panel. A
personal interview is extremely vital as it gives an opportunity for the employer to evaluate you in depth. At
this stage, you will typically be interviewed by senior people – at Universal McCann (page 63), it‟s firstly the
line manager, then a senior manager, then the agency CEO. It also gives you the opportunity to learn much
more about the employer and the company.
The following list is a guide to how you can make the most of your interview (and score that dream job!)
Do your homework beforehand
Preparation always creates confidence and will come in handy. Gather information by conducting some
research, writing down questions you would like to ask, and visiting the location. Researching a company
and the position will make you stand out in an interview. It shows that you are really interested in working
there. Prepare yourself practically for the interview. Practise aloud in front of a mirror or with a friend. This
exercise prevents you from rambling in the interview and sounding unpolished and unsure.
Presentation and first impressions
Keep in mind that you will never get a second chance to make your first impression. Display confidence
through your posture, walk, energy, and eye contact. Shake hands firmly but only if a hand is offered to you
first. Let the interviewer start the dialogue.
Dressing attire is extremely important. If you are unsure what to wear, you should always go with the most
conservative, professional option, for example, a dark-colored, conservative suit (for both men and women).
It is better to be overdressed than dressed too casually. You should avoid wearing excessive jewellery,
perfume, and flamboyant clothes. Good personal hygiene is also important. What you are wearing tells
employers a lot about how serious you are about getting the job.
Listening
Listening is a crucial part of interview. Don't interrupt the interviewer. Listen carefully to what he/she is
asking. If you feel the question is unclear, ask for clarification. Remember to pause before answering to
consider all facts which may substantiate your response. Always offer positive information.
Responding effectively
Don't waste time repeating things that are already indicated on your application; expand upon them and
provide more details e.g. the tactics you used to exceed your sales quota by 20%. Also discuss the points,
which are not in your resume, but demonstrates that you are eligible for the position. Emphasise the strong
and positive points about yourself. Relax and be yourself. Be honest with every question. Don‟t lie about
your background and skills. If you get caught then you will be definitely out.
Follow up
Always send a thank you letter to each person with whom you interviewed within 24 hours after the
interview. Being polite and professional always makes a good impression
Sometimes individual interviews don‟t end up the way you want to. Be sure to follow the following tips so this
doesn‟t happen:
• Don't arrive late for the interview.
• Forgetting your application form or resume. Make sure it is completed and updated.
• Don't be over aggressive and dominant.
• Failure to ask questions about the job.
• No genuine interest or enthusiasm in the company or job.
• Lack of maturity.
• Lack of planning for career.
• Don't be negative about past employers.

Graduating without a job offer
By Aaren Cristini, Sponsorships Director
If you find yourself without a job upon graduation, consider the adage that „everything
happens for a reason‟, and it‟s just an experience to help you reach your eventual
success. The most important thing is to maintain a positive outlook and to keep trying –
do not wait for an opportunity to come to you. You have to climb the mountain, a mountain
can‟t climb you. There are a number of ways to ensure you stay involved, busy and gain
valuable experience for your next application:
If you stay active in your job search and activities, opportunities for progression should be
plentiful. Keep moving, stay happy!
Take up another role in the meantime
Find a part-time job, volunteer for an organisation – just do something. All these different
activities will add to your resume and provide you with skills and background to discuss in
future interviews and applications. If you can find a role that relates to your preferred field
of work, it‟s even better.
1
2
Establish goals and an ambition
If you have something to work towards, you can make decisions and apply for roles that
can help you get there. Is there a particular company you want to work for? Try starting in
a smaller role and work your way up. Is there a particular role you want? Start in a lesser-
known company or a position that provides experience in that role. When each goal is
achieved it also provides a great deal of satisfaction. Consider revising your resume and
cover letter as well, to make sure it evolves with you, stays up to date and effectively
articulates why you‟re suitable for the jobs you‟re applying for.
3
Network
Engage with past contacts, mentors and peers. Follow-up with people you‟ve met by
emailing them, making a phone call or arranging to meet them again. Get off the couch
and go to events as well. These are often friendly and sociable situations, and they are a
great method of meeting new people, and it might just be the next person who gives you
a job.

Advice for International Students
By Joy Wallace, Vice President
Hot tip: every employer profile included in this guide includes information on whether that
employer hires international students.
Finding a job as an international student can be tough. Many companies across multiple industries
won‟t even consider applicants who don‟t have Australian citizenship or permanent residency. This
means that international students must be especially prepared and savvy when searching for their
next internship or graduate position.
As an international student myself, I‟ve created a few tips for the trade that I‟ve learned from my
job search journey. These tips are extra steps on top of the recruitment process that international
students should take. Personally, the below processes have helped me secure two internships at
large marketing firms despite my status as an international student. I sincerely hope they help you
secure the position you‟re looking for!
Do your research
Before you apply for a job, look up which programs will accept international students. For example,
most positions in the Australian government require the applicant to strictly be a citizen. Other
positions in industries such as banking, accounting or marketing simply want students that they
don‟t have to sponsor to stay in Australia. This actually means that you‟re valid to work for those
companies while on your student visa though the same can‟t be said when you graduate and your
visa changes. It‟s important to note that many companies will say they only accept
citizens/permanent residents when what they really mean is that they want people who have
sponsorship. In that case, it‟s worth it to apply.

Network
When interacting with firms throughout the interview process, you need to come off confident that
you‟re the right person for the job. You must make the firm want you. This means you should know
what the firm does, who their main clients are, recent news that they‟ve been involved in and why
you want to be there. This seems obvious but you‟d be surprised how much it can make you stand
out.
Overall, searching for a job as an international student is a very extensive process. You can be
successful but there will be rejection and roadblocks along the way. Keep your head up and move
forward with persistence. In the end, it will be worth it!
Differentiate yourself
As an international student, you have to prove yourself even more than those who hold an
Australian passport. Fair or not, it‟s just the name of the game. When you‟re creating your cover
letter and resume, pause and think about what makes you the best candidate. Ask yourself
questions like: what unique skills do I bring to the table? What is my superpower that will make me
stand out? How can I get the job done better than anyone else could? Often, your international
experiences can be used to show how worldly and adaptive you are. Firms, especially global ones,
really value this.

Clemenger BBDO
On a quest for an unfair share of the best talent
Advertising 18
1. What does Clemenger BBDO do?
The Clemenger Group is a group of companies
involved in the advertising and marketing
communications industry throughout Australia and
New Zealand.
2. What sets Clemenger BBDO apart from its
competitors?
At Clemenger BBDO Sydney there are 3 things we
believe in and 3 things we care about: The Work,
The Work, The Work.
All of our efforts are designed to generate the best
work. After all, the work is what the consumer
sees, what changes behaviour and drives the sale.
We aspire to create work that stands out, work that
gets noticed, work that is talked about, shared and
work that stretches across channels and endures
over time.
3. What internship or graduate opportunities do
you offer?
Our Seven Brains Graduate program is one-of-
kind, offering graduates the opportunity to
experience different Clemenger companies across
public relations, advertising, digital, experiential,
healthcare and shopper marketing disciplines. The
diversity of experience is designed to broaden
graduates‟ understanding of the industry and to
help pinpoint a passion. The graduate internship is
a paid internship for a 9 month period, and each
graduate rotates for 3 x 3 month periods between a
selection of the Clemenger Group of companies.
Upon completion there is the prospect of a fulltime
position for each graduate within the Clemenger
Group.
4. What are the skills, qualities and experiences
you look for in your graduates?
We are looking for the best young talent to join the
Clemenger Group, we call our quest to gain "an
unfair share of the best talent". Key competencies
are: creativity, communication, confidence,
interpersonal effectiveness, organisation skills,
sense of humour, hardworking, smarts, enthusiasm
and fit for the teams/agency - do they standout?
5. What opportunities do you have for
international and postgraduate students?
To apply for the Seven Brains Program graduates
need to be an Australian Citizen or Permanent
Resident. Postgraduates can apply. Also, we
encourage graduates from any academic
discipline, after all what makes the advertising
industry unique and ever evolving is the distinct
range of people who work within it. We're after
people who standout from the crowd. The only
mandatory factor is a curious, driven and creative
mind.
6. What extra-curricular activities do you look
favourably upon?
Any interests or job history which illustrate their
creativity and commitment.
7. Do you have a minimum weighted average
mark requirement?
No, they need to have completed and passed their
studies. Of course HD's and D's are looked on
favourably, but not the only criteria. Again, this
demonstrates smarts and commitment.

program. The graduate rotations commence in

city. They attend lectures and work on a client
brief in groups, ensuring they experience the
complete process resulting in the presentation
of a creative idea. We work closely with The

participation in the industry during studies. This could be
student or industry groups or activities, internships, work
experience, blogs etc – anything that shows you are
passionate about advertising.
We are happy to consider candidates who have studied
other disciplines, as our recruitment strategy is focused
on unearthing great potential & strong cultural fit.
Participating in the Communications Council Graduate
Program means there is a whole suite of testing, which
may change from year to year. Our own recruitment
process internally includes interviews by the relevant
team manager, HR Manager and MD. Often we will get
people to meet the team that could be a part of to ensure
there is a great fit.

colleagues and mentors;

Arts, Science, Medicine, Economics, Commerce and Engineering.
Whatever their background, our graduates are all excellent problem solvers, with an interest in applying
their intellect to some of the most difficult yet engaging issues in business.

With 4 different specialist skill areas and a
client service team, qualities and skillsets do
vary. The below outline gives an indication of
our expectations:
Performance
Graduates seeking an internship within the
performance team will be equipped with a
strong analytical mind, a conscientious work
ethic and a hunger for data analysis. A
willingness to gain knowledge of a wide range
of tools is also desired and strong skills in
Microsoft Excel essential. Any previous
experience with Google Analytics would
obviously be wonderful. We are also looking
for individuals who will fit the team culture,
thus outgoing personalities and strong
interpersonal skills are viewed favourably.
Organic Search
Graduates looking for internships with a focus
on Organic Search will be particularly suitable
with skills and experience in a more technical
field. This includes web development, use of
content management systems, coding, server
systems and mathematical algorithms. A
numerical mind and keen eye for detail is
essential as lots of problem solving with the
use of data is a big part of the job. The
mainstay of SEO work is the spreadsheet –
therefore a detailed knowledge of Excel is
essential including pivot tables and advanced
functions e.g vlookups.
Analytics
Similar to Organic Search, a mathematical
background is highly desirable here.
Familiarity with web analytics packages will
certainly help but a general analytical
background, with experience sorting and
analysing data is essential. Skills within user
testing, psychology and customer experience
are desirable as part of the analytics role may
be testing whether a colour or word matches
user intent.
Social Media
Graduates looking for internships which focus
on Social Media are best suited if they have
background in at least one of these
disciplines:
Marketing, Journalism, Arts, Statistics, Digital
Social Media is a good fit for individuals
looking for job opportunities which
encapsulate a balance between creativity,
analysis and project management. Our
department covers the facets of strategy,
digital, project management, community
management and media buying. Graduates at
Reprise Social generally get to experience
each of these facets before they get to
specialise in one stream.
International and postgraduate will be also
offered on an adhoc level and will be
considered based on the calibre of the
candidate and potential fit to our company.

Dr PENNIE FROW
PROGRAM DIRECTOR,
MASTER OF marketing
Today‟s business world is increasingly
complex, so this program addresses
strategic marketing issues facing
organisations and offers students
an exceptional opportunity to study
the latest marketing practices within
a global context. The program‟s
structure has a strong emphasis
on practical assignments which
have been specifically designed to
foster opportunities for students to
apply a wide range of marketing and
management frameworks and tools.
The strong links the Business School

perspectives and providing the

UNIT DESCRIPTIONS
CONTEMPORARY CONSUMER
INSIGHTS
In this unit, you will learn how to
generate valuable consumer insights
that assist marketing managers to
successfully operate in contemporary
markets. Students examine the latest
research that suggest today‟s market
places are characterised by dynamic
inter-relationships between popular
culture, market structures, ideologies
and consumer orientations. The unit
allows students to identify and apply
best practice qualitative research
techniques (video-ethnography,
archetype elicitation) to investigate
contemporary consumers and generate
insights intended to inspire significant
marketing innovations.
EVALUATING MARKETING
PERFORMANCE
An essential practice in marketing is

“The reputation of the Business School
allowed me to access industry experience
opportunities with key executives, including
the operations director of one of Australia‟s
top retailers. This access was invaluable,
as was the knowledge I gained through the
program, which enabled me to deliver a report
to my host company that provided genuinely
valuable insights and recommendations.”
Josh Robertsen
Master of marketing
assessing the impact of marketing
strategies on business performance.
Increasingly, companies are recognising
marketing as a strategic board-level
function, which is directly responsible
for wealth creation. This unit introduces
students to marketing metrics that are
responsible for commercial success. Key
measures are explained and applied to a
wide range of business examples.
INNOVATIVE MARKETING
STRATEGIES
This unit is about developing and
managing innovative competitive
marketing strategies. It not only
combines concepts, frameworks
and tools from across the marketing
discipline, it also transcends the
traditional boundaries of the discipline
itself, drawing on materials from strategic
management, entrepreneurship and
finance. The central focus is on strategy
development and how it can create
superior and sustainable value for both
customers and shareholders.
INTEGRATED MARKETING
COMMUNICATIONS
This unit provides an overview of
theory and practice in the fast changing
area of marketing communications.
This unit is designed to help plan and
deliver an integrated communication
strategy using new media including
digital and social media as well as
traditional channels of advertising,
promotion, direct marketing and PR.
As communication professionals are
accountable for their programs and
strategies, special attention is given to
measuring results.
INTERNAL MARKETING
This unit considers the role of internal
marketing in motivating employees
towards implementing marketing
strategies. Although the principles
of marketing used internally within
an organisation are in theory similar
to those used externally, frequently
a tailored approach is required when
addressing practical issues. This unit
presents current thinking and research
on the topic of internal marketing and
explains how it can be used to assist
with implementing marketing strategy.
MARKETING IN THE GLOBAL
ECONOMY
The dynamic nature of global markets
makes international marketing a very
interesting topic. Competitive forces
transcend national boundaries so that
every company is touched to some
extent by the impact of the global
market. This unit considers international
marketing from a wide range of
perspectives and includes issues that
impact large multinationals as well
as smaller international and national
players.
MARKETING RESEARCH FOR
DECISION MAKERS
Understanding and using marketing
information is an essential task for
marketing decision makers. This unit
will explore how data can be turned into
actionable marketing information. You
will learn how to identify information
requirements, plan data collection and
assess data quality. Advanced analytical
techniques will be examined, including
how to critically evaluate qualitative and
quantitative data.
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT AND
ETHICS
In today‟s highly competitive
business environment, it is critical for
marketing professionals to have a clear
understanding of marketing issues and
the impact of possible regulatory and
ethical factors. Marketing programs
and strategies have a greater chance
of success if they are developed with
an awareness of regulatory and ethical
guidelines. This unit considers the
regulatory and ethical environment of
the marketing of goods and services,
issues and implications of new media
are also investigated. Topics covered
include marketing regulation in the digital
environment.
Consulting
Business Project
The final project gives students the
opportunity to apply knowledge gained
throughout the entire program. The
project requires application of analytical
tools and project management skills to a
marketing issue within an organisation.
One-on-one supervisory sessions
provide guidance on the project
along with workshops introducing

project management skills. Students
will design their own project and
conduct independent research in an
organisation that offers an interesting
marketing issue. Examples of topics
include: product development and
launch; developing a new marketing
strategy; entering a new market
segment; and implementing a new
marketing initiative such as customer
relationship management (CRM). The
final project report will be presented
to the client organisation and the
student‟s supervisor. The international
project offers students the option of
exploring a marketing issue in a specific
international context.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Graduates work as marketing directors
and in leadership roles in corporate
and other organisations. An increasing
number of graduates work in senior
management roles within marketing
service organisations, including market
research, advertising agencies and
product design.

goals. The Master of Marketing is ideal
