Trisca Scott-Branagan - Chief Marketing Officer, Australian Business Growth Fund - is similarly passionate about this balance. “The variety” that comes with marketing, she says, provides “the opportunity to be creative one moment, and deeply analytical the next.”
ADMA’s CEO Andrea Martens touched on the variety that not only comes with the craft, but the plethora of interests and businesses marketers can work with. She believes that marketing is “a career where you work in any industry - be it fashion, cars, finance etc. You can follow your passion whatever that may be, as every industry relies on marketing.
