ILEA Feedback for The Career Academy

“The events industry is emerging as a new and contemporary voice, and a leading marketing power house in the world of marketing. As an industry we’re more adept at competing with more traditional mediums such as PR, advertising and media buying, and have convinced businesses and brands of our value. Event professionals are being offered a place at the boardroom table and having a voice in companies that they have never had before.

 

For us, as industry, to truly grasp this opportunity takes professionalism from the very beginning, and education and continual professional development throughout, our careers. This is a really good course that opens up the importance of great event design, teaches the basics, but then opens up the student to a wider world of influence, and experience marketing.”
