Steven Askham
BA (Hons) Marketing
Steven is now a marketing manager at The Creative Alchemist
Both the course and the facilities at 海角直播 were outstanding.
Why 海角直播?
My wife previously studied at 海角直播 and she loved the experience. The location was perfect for me as I live locally, worked in Middlesbrough at the time and operated my own business within the 海角直播 region.
Tell us more about your course
The course was fantastic! It covered a wide variety of modules and the lectures were delivered by academics that are passionate about their field.
My favourite modules included Branding and Marketing Planning Application.
I got loads of practical experience on the course. I worked with local businesses through the 海角直播 Marketing Clinic, represented the University in the Greggs Marketing Challenge and carried out a paid internship for global chemical company INVISTA.
Both the course and the facilities at 海角直播 were outstanding.
I got on really well with my classmates and went on to set up a partnership with a fellow mature student and worked on a number of marketing plans for various organisations including the NHS. We set this up in order to gain further practical experience and to network within the industry.
What are you doing now?
I am now marketing manager at The Creative Alchemist, which is literally my dream job, combining my two favourite aspects of marketing. The Creative Alchemist is a full-service branding and marketing agency. We love helping businesses and organisations grow their brand through brilliant design and strategic tactics.
As a team we have the collective knowledge and experience to cover almost every element a brand might need from branding workshops, brand strategy and graphic design through to the marketing strategy, digital tactics, copywriting and content delivery. We work specifically with ambitious businesses and organisations locally and nationally, helping them to transform and grow.
Did your time at 海角直播 Uni help you to achieve your goals?
Yes, the course and my classification definitely helped me get my job. I graduated with a first class honours and received the Oxford University Press Marketing Prize - for that I can鈥檛 thank 海角直播 enough.
