Learning new skills is essential to keeping up to speed with industry demands and trends. This is as crucial in marketing as with any other part of the business. Investing in your marketing team is an investment in your business. Actively pursuing new skills, information and qualifications will not only be good for business it will help individuals move their careers forward.
Planning for a successful future requires a commitment to continuing professional development for every marketer at every level. As our new term approaches in September meet some of the nesma students who have already invested in their careers.

She already had a PR degree but studied CIM to help her integrate effective communication campaigns with her colleagues. They say every day is a learning day and that’s so true in Marketing!
Laura is responsible for developing and maintaining the National Glass Centre’s audiences. Studying CIM has given her the confidence to develop her own ideas and campaigns.
