Networking Blog

Time flies! Now it comes to an end to the marketing seminar course! I have the privilege to learn from more than a decade of marketing professionals in a consecutive 12 weeks online. Our topics are very diversified from inspiring alumni stories to different focus of marketing speciality including loyalty marketing, SEO, B2B Marketing, Marketing Science, Influencer Marketing, Performance Marketing, Product Enrichment, Digital Marketing Strategy, Paid Media Marketing, etc.  Within each marketing area, our speakers have walked us through from overview, work framework, business problem that are solving, dimensions, metrics, KPIs, as well as their own experience in these practices, which, to great extent, provided us a comprehensive way from overall to in-depth to get an idea about how exactly digital marketing works within each area. In the end, each speaker provided a case study based on their own company. Within group work, we brainstormed the causes of business problems, identified the opportunities and generated solutions from digital marketing perspective to solve the business problems. It was an instant reflect from what had been covered by the speakers. Great way to practice new learnings. Each speaker provided their feedback on each team’s work. Their positive, constructive, and equally insightful feedback greatly wrap up what we learnt and what we should work more.

I have greatly benefited from these sessions from different marketing professionals. Looking back at what we all have experienced, I am so grateful to be guided by them with huge thanks to my professor Wendy Greenwood from GBC for providing great resources and planning the most organized and strategic learning.

What have I learnt most?

The overall knowledge of all marketing specialities has provided me comprehensive knowledge and encouraged me to do further research on areas that I want to dive into as career choices. Marketing science, loyalty marketing and performance marketing are areas that I want to learn and contribute more. I have connected with them on LinkedIn.

My further step to enrich my learning in these 3 areas are to follow these companies LinkedIn accounts and marketing professionals from these companies. I also did research on these companies’ competitors by learning from their websites on their services, business model, team and culture. I followed 12 professionals from these companies and now already started to benefit from their contributions from LinkedIn.

What I get from connecting with them? I would say the trends, ideas, events, and their opinion/comments on different marketing events. I find these are great learning resources in a format of real work & life experience. It is always easy to learn framework, methodology in books and very beneficial to master how to use what we learnt by watching how others are using it, learn from their experience either success or failure. All are great learning resources.

Now I am starting to search for some work opportunity in the marketing analytics area.  When I am reading JD for Marketing/business data analyst from different companies, those detailed responsibility are things that we have covered and had practiced from the marketing seminar course as well as other courses from GBC. The companies I did research for are hiring for analyst. Those roles look familiar to me which provided confidence for me to apply.

My takeaways in network building

I followed/connected with each speaker prior to our online session. Normally, I will say thank you to joining us and sharing your knowledge with us this afternoon. My name is x. Currently I am doing x. I am looking forward to meeting you!  Almost all of the speakers approved my invitation.

It is good or safer to connect with speakers after class. But I understand they know we will approach them if they share LinkedIn with us. It may be also safe to connect prior to class due to this reason. In addition, it is a good sign to show they are welcomed by us. We appreciate their time and input.

About LinkedIn connection, always good to send a note with brief intro about you and reason to connect. Be positive! Do not ask anything! It is rude to ask them to offer you a referral or information call when you just try to build a connection via LinkedIn.

Following the connection, if you feel a good fit or have a good reason to approach them, you can send them a short message to concisely share your intention and why. Perhaps you will be surprised that people agree to offer an information call to provide industry information or answer your questions.

For our speakers from the seminar, I am very happy to connect with them and appreciated the opportunity to know more professional experience about them, and their company, community etc.  As I have asked the questions I had during our session time, I did not approach them for an information call as of today. But I know who I might want to approach for a in person or virtual meetings in near future when I am ready.

Speakers and her industry that greatly inspired me on networking

Blair Roebuck, vice president, marketing science form Valtech

Paul Michel, Senior Manager, Performance Marketing, Harry Rosen

Jennifer Stoll, VP, Strategy, Valtech

I have gained great insights and explore more resources from them. Because of Valtech, I started to network with professions in digital transformation field. I am keen to understand how to provide digital services to clients to help drive business growth and increase ROI. This area looks like a more integrated work who are not just talking about influence, impressions, clicks but focusing on results from the top of pyramid, which is business result, the ROI. Now I am working on the list of predominant marketing agency with focus on marketing science.

Performance marketing played a critical role in driving me to think further on metrics and KPIs to drive ROI. It is not just about one thing, but an integrated work. I am so honored to see the way how Paul shared his work, structure, case study, as well as key measurement with us. I am a huge fan of him in terms of how to bring the topic to the table and how to wrap it up in an efficient and enjoyable way. He knows what the main things that his audience want to learn.

He did not share LinkedIn with us. However, reading his PPT and doing further research about Harry Rosen, sign up on the email list, following social media channels also enrich my learning because of him. I highly appreciated this.

Harry Rosen is a good example of showing me how marketing strategy works for a luxury brand. Those skills are transferable which I can apply either in a job from Harry Rosen if possible, in the future or similar company in the industry.  So, I followed other Canadian companies in the retail industry, such as Canadian tire, Canada Goose at all channels and keep reading their financial and local publics to gain better understanding on their business strategy and how their marketing function to support business objectives. If I were in that role, part of their teams, what I might learn, what I might change or contribute.

Wrap-up

Marketing is an ever-evolving journey. As marketers, we constantly learn and evolve to keep updated and drive great outcomes. Building network is great tool to help us understand what is new, what is on demand, what we can learn and what else we can contribute. How to network varies on what you are looking for. It could be just a hint on industry knowledge that could inspire you to do further research on your own and go from there. This way fits me well.  Or it could be a way for you to know more about people, and you know how to work with and learn from others especially those people with senior experience and knowledge in the area you might be quite interested in.

Lastly, thanks Professor Wendy Greenwood for providing this great opportunity to learn and reflect, and thanks all our speakers who took their own time and guided us from different areas. I am confident these learning will be stay with us and help the marketing community to train more excellent marketing professionals just like them and shine in different corner.

With thanks to all who contributed in these sessions and shared their ideas!

"From Student to Professional: How a Marketing Seminar Shaped My Career Aspirations"

As the semester draws to a close, I am grateful for the invaluable knowledge I have gained from attending the Marketing Seminar series. I owe my sincere appreciation to Professor Wendy Greenwood, who curated an exceptional lineup of industry experts to share their insights with us.

Throughout the series, I had the privilege of listening to speakers who generously shared their professional journeys. Attending these sessions in person has given me the confidence to pursue my career goals with determination and self-belief.

One particularly inspiring session was led by Blair Roebuck, the Vice President of Marketing Science at Valtech. Blair shared their expertise in data-driven marketing and digital experience platforms, having honed their skills over eight years of agency experience. Their commitment to driving digital transformation through data-driven strategies has earned Blair recognition in the Forbes Under 30 Class of 2023.

The key takeaways from this enlightening session include:

Embracing Change

I have learned that embracing change is crucial for personal and professional growth. By fostering an attitude of adaptability and openness, we can navigate the ever-evolving landscape of our industry with confidence and excel in our chosen paths. This insight has reshaped my approach to considering career options.

Networking and Connections

Networking has emerged as an important factor in staying competitive. Building relationships with individuals, both within and outside the industry, can provide valuable insights and perspectives that can guide my career development.

Tailoring Applications

When searching for job opportunities, tailoring my resume and cover letter to each application is a crucial factor for success. Understanding the unique needs of each organization and demonstrating my dedication and attention to detail can increase my chances of securing the desired position.

Researching Organizations

Conducting thorough research on the desired organization, including its background, vision, values, products or services, market position, and recent developments, is essential. This knowledge will not only help me tailor my approach when interacting with the organization but also demonstrate my genuine interest and dedication during interviews or networking opportunities.

Throughout this semester, I have been actively building connections in the marketing industry and exploring resources that will guide me toward finding a position in the field. I have connected with the speakers from the seminar series, many of whom are highly active on LinkedIn and share valuable content.

I have also attended events organized by marketing groups on LinkedIn, which have provided me with opportunities to network, gain references, and connect with professionals in the industry. These interactions have allowed me to receive valuable feedback on my resume and gain insights on how to make it more relevant for the positions I am interested in.

Additionally, I have joined the "Digital Marketing: Social Media, Search, Mobile & more" group on LinkedIn, which has nearly 2 million professionals in the same field. This group has helped me stay updated on the latest events and trends in marketing.

To stay connected with my network, I actively engage with my connections on LinkedIn, share industry-related content, stay updated on new job postings, and initiate informative discussions. Building and nurturing relationships is a crucial step in finding job opportunities.

I am currently seeking a co-op opportunity, and I am optimistic that my networking efforts will help me secure a paid position. While I have received an offer for an unpaid marketing internship through my LinkedIn network, my preference is to find a paid co-op position. I firmly believe that networking will play a crucial role in helping me achieve this goal.

The digital media marketing seminar series has been an exceptional experience. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from a knowledgeable professor and a diverse group of industry experts. The insights I have gained will undoubtedly benefit my marketing career.

Dive into the world of marketing science

Blair Roebuck, an experienced marketing analyst, joined the MARK 4029 class, where she walked students through what Marketing Science was.

Starting with introductions, Blair Roebuck introduced herself to the MARK 4029 class, where she seamlessly walked the students through her experience as a marketing analyst and walked them through the world of Marketing Science.

As the vice president of marketing science at a global digital agency called Valtech, Blair had a lot of knowledge to impart to the students.

Firstly, Blair introduced Marketing Science and expressed its heavy reliance on data. She went on to explain how the data sets include general information, such as the contact information of the intended audience. This data is then used to create custom content based on that demographic. Customizing this content then helps the audience personalize their experience, undoubtedly maximizing user experience.

In this field, data is valuable and can be used as a currency because marketing science aims to translate the data collected into usable business insights that drive a return on clients and investments.

The goal is to customize online and offline transactions with the commerce data that has been collected. This can help the organization retain its customers because they have personalized their experiences.

These business insights gathered from the analysis of the data that has been collected help to proffer solutions to any problems the organization may be facing.

Secondly, Blair explained how organizations measure their success using three pillars of return on investment to focus on. The first pillar is the return on client investments. The second pillar is the return on investment from data collected and how it was implemented, and lastly, the third pillar is ensuring there is a profit from sales.

Finally, Blair introduced the implementation of key disciplines involved in marketing science:

Measuring strategy, Data, Analytics, Data visualization, SEO and Optimization.

In choosing a strategy, it is crucial to identify the key performance indicators. These depend on the goal of the organization. Once the data has been gathered and is usable and consumable, it Is analyzed.

After the presentation, the classroom transformed into an engaging session with the case study of the in-class activity. The students split into two groups who analyzed two different sets of data.

In group one, they were able to find the state with the highest percentage of drivers who are involved in lesions and are alcohol-impaired. However, the group faced some challenges as they needed help establishing relationships between most variables. They could successfully suggest tailored content based on the established relationships.

Blair’s feedback to the group was positive as she applauded them and appreciated their honesty in navigating the relationships despite their challenges. She acknowledged that these challenges are part of being a marketer.

Reflecting on the experience, I would not necessarily like to be a marketing analyst because, as much as it seems very interesting, the mathematical aspect involved is discouraging, and I know my strengths. However, it is an exciting field if I can brush up on those skills.

Lessons from my Digital Media Seminar Series

As I look back on my Marketing Seminar series, it feels like a journey full of twists and turns, especially when it comes to networking. Let me walk you through what I have discovered and how it is shaping my career dreams.

I enjoyed each seminar, looking at the different backgrounds and branches in the marketing field, also the fact of having a case study at the end of the seminar was a very productive way to learn a liitle bit about what our speakers face on daily basis at their work, the case studies were done in groups which reinforce the importance of the team work, and open my mind to different ideas due to the variety of culture backgrounds between my classmates.

Now, out of all the speakers, there were two people that caught my attention: Blair Roebuck, VP of Marketing Science at Valtech, a global company focused on business transformation, and Michael Sauvé, director of digital and social at an agency called North Strategic. Perhaps was the fact that I loved the idea of working in that branch of the marketing field, perhaps the energy they both put into the seminar or perhaps both things.

Blair Roebuck seminar was focused on how crucial data is in today's business world, emphasizing the need for a clear plan when collecting data, and the problems we could have if we start collection data without a plan, which can guide us to wrong data to be analyzed and waist of time and energy, which is super interesting.

On the other side, Michael Sauvé focused on public relations and social media, and his approach was that we need to start thinking as a user, however sometimes depending on the age range that can be a challenge and that is something we talked on the seminar, how different generations uses different technology, and how can that affect or benefit the way we need to approach our audience. A great and simple example is the way a person search for a coffee place, we discussed that younger generations are so immerse in social media that nowadays most of the time that is their prefer search engine, rather than common search engines for other generations, such as Google, Bing or Yahoo.

Google

Bing

Yahoo

Expanding on Michael Sauvé's talk, he showed us a real work case his team and he had in the past with a company in Quebec, Canada, where we could see how important is to choose the right influencer for the brand that your are working with, how a proper study of the potential influencer could benefit or damage the brand image.

At the end of Michael Sauvé's seminar, he emphasized the need to tailor your networking approach and encourage everyone to eliminate the help of AI for cover letters or just general approach to recruiters. He stressed the importance of genuine connections over a sheer number of contacts. It's not just about adding names to your LinkedIn; it is about building meaningful relationships. Also, Blair Roebuck shared the same thought about networking giving us tips of how to start our network journey.

Back at home, in Ecuador, networking was not a big deal, I guess when you are born and raised in a such a small country, it is easy to to build and keep connections, that I never thought it as something important that I need to work to grow in my career, but I moved to Canada 2 years ago and after landing in Toronto, it hit me hard that making connections here is like gold for our career, and that starting from scratch is not as easy as we think.

Moreover, through this seminar series, I realized networking is not just a one-time thing. It's an ongoing process that involves nurturing connections, reaching out to industry professionals, and actively engaging in conversations. It’s more like planting seeds and nurturing them into flourishing relationships over time.

When I landed in Canada, without contacts, my first job was in a retail store just because it was the easiest and fastest to get without Canadian work experience. To amp up my networking game, I started by hitting up free events not only work related but fitness related, and I realized that you do not only need to assist to events that are related to your career because anywhere you can approach people with a shared interest, that with a thoughtful question can spark more fruitful conversations that can guide to contribute in many ways not only career wise.

Furthermore, the power of LinkedIn cannot be underestimated. Building an engaging profile and connecting with industry professionals has become my go-to strategy. Although I haven’t joined specific groups yet, I've seen the impact of engaging posts and thoughtful comments within the LinkedIn community.

All the speakers in the seminar series had one thing in common: they all preached about getting to know as many people as possible. They said it's not just about collecting connections; it's about chatting up and making friends on social media, especially LinkedIn. It’s about building trust and making friends who can help you out in your career.

I’ve learned that it's not just about reaching out to industry bigwigs. Peers and colleagues are equally important. Sharing knowledge, experiences, and helping each other grow forms a symbiotic relationship that often leads to valuable opportunities.

Every conversation, every interaction is a potential opportunity waiting to be explored. As I move forward, I’m committed to further refining my networking skills and building a robust network that will pave the way for my career growth.

Reflections - Careers Path & Networking

In recent weeks, I have brought here some reflections on professionals linked to the Marketing career, their trajectories, experience and perspectives. Today, I would like to bring my perspective on everything that has happened and that I have observed and learned in recent months.

As I mentioned, I had the opportunity to hear from several professionals, which was very important to me, not because at 21 I have millions of doubts about my future, but because I didn't and that's weird to say the least (SOS). I've always made a million plans and figured I needed to know every step I was going to take into my career, when and in which direction. One of my biggest lessons was seeing the curves, changes and adaptations that these professionals had during their time in the market and that everything is fine.

I believe that each person took from this semester something specific that they needed to hear and, without a doubt, for me that was the great point. Despite my millions of plans, I live extremely worried about what my trajectory will be like and it really keeps me awake at night (don't worry, I'm already in therapy 🤣). I'm not going to say that I'm a less anxious person or that now I have everything sorted out, but I think it helped me to understand that I don't have everything sorted out and that these professionals often didn't have it either, and even so, they feel fulfilled and satisfied with what they do. 

I really enjoyed following the professionals at Valtech because I saw very bright, intelligent women with an absurd potential (in a good way, obviously). I believe that in so many bad experiences of women in the market, it was very good to see them occupying spaces that are so competitive and that, generally speaking, are occupied by men (in my country, this is unfortunately still quite common).

I also really enjoyed hearing from Christy Varicat (from Tangerine) for having such a distinguished background academically speaking, but who made her career in an unexpected way in a field different from her training and in companies that would be my dream. It also felt like another warning to my perception that a career necessarily needs to follow certain steps and go in a single certain direction all the time.

Also, thinking about what I want for my future, what I most enjoyed understanding about was Blair Roebuck's career within Marketing Science. I always believed that the more analytical side of Marketing would be my favorite part and I've had that impression since I was in college, but I really enjoyed understanding it from someone who sees it every day in practice and at what point it mixes with the strategic part. 

Much is said about the creative side in advertising and, when we think about the process behind a campaign, the analytical and data-based study is hardly the first to cross someone's mind, but she brought points that show that even the management and handling of data and how you are going to use them in your favor, also involves creativity and critical sense.

I understand, like and admire all the professionals who took the time to talk to us, but for me, without a doubt, she was THE BEST.

Listening to these professionals and their tips and advice also made me recognize even more the importance of a well-built network. As I said, I have a million plans and at the same time a million uncertainties and I confess that this affected my networking here in Canada a lot because I focused on building it in my country and ended up neglecting it here.

My efforts in this regard were basically to get in touch with professionals in whom I saw a career that would make sense to me. I even asked for help from Professor William Seidner that we had classes with last semester. He was incredible, helpful and recommended great books about it like "Friend of a Friend", about the power of networks and "Startup of You", about career planning.

So far I haven't mentioned the Co-op with the people I've contacted and I'm only using LinkedIn, Indeed and the careers tab on the brands' websites for my search, but I understand that this search could be much easier if I had invested more on my network here.

I also participated in some summits and met some people from the Digital Marketing field who were very receptive and open, but I also felt difficulty in how to keep the dialogue open without thinking that I was being inconvenient

I also joined some groups on Facebook and ended up helping more people than being helped because I even have contacts, but outside the area I want to work. Even so, it was a great experience to see other people succeeding in what they set out to do.

On a given week during this semester we also discussed what our biggest struggle was when it came to networking and mine definitely is being afraid of being told "no". I believe that there has been an improvement in this aspect but it is still an insecurity that needs to be worked on, mainly because life is made of "no's" and I will still hear many, besides that, this insecurity probably limits me and deprives me to meet amazing people and have wonderful opportunities. 

I don't feel very much in a position to give advice because I still have a lot to work on and learn but I think the advice I need to hear is: just go for it. Most insecurities are just that and aren't real. Making plans is not a guarantee of anything and incredible paths can emerge if you don't limit yourself to them. Be more open to meeting new people because they may have more to offer than you think you need.

I believe it was a semester full of reflections on our next steps and we had the opportunity to meet exceptional people and that is certainly priceless. Learning appears in different ways and touches people in different ways, but I think that regardless of the form, it made me see things in a different way and rethink a lot of what I had already defined as non-negotiable and certain.

Blair Roebuck, Vice President, Marketing Science, Valtech

Do you know what "unicorn" means? Blair Roebuck, Vice President of Marketing Science at Valtech, explained this terminology with the following statement: "I am privileged to work with such amazing people. I got the glory of standing and sitting in front of you all in class. However, the team behind me are fantastic and brilliant individuals, and I learned by working with them all."

Her description of unicorns makes her think of people with an exceptional blend of analytical skills, statistical knowledge, and marketing expertise. The unicorn suggests finding individuals with marketing and data science skills. Whenever she hires or adds individuals to her team, there are some key criteria she looks for.

The technology side. Are you capable of organizing and analyzing data? Can you capture the data and analyze it?

Expertise: Do you have the technical knowledge to analyze the data?

Apply: Can you apply the technical findings to your client's project content and context?

Blair taught me three takeaways. First, we need different skills and knowledge to succeed in our company. We need analytical skills, knowledge and expertise. The most significant thing is, however, that we should strive to be unicorns and be fantastic individuals who share knowledge and learn through collaboration with others. 

Secondly, it is very critical to have a solid understanding of customers and the business model. This is because you can often apply your knowledge and skills to various industries and ensure their application in every circumstance.

Communication fosters collaboration and teamwork among employees. When individuals can clearly convey their ideas, thoughts, and expectations, it becomes easier to work together, share information, and coordinate efforts towards common goals. Effective communication promotes synergy and helps teams achieve better results.

The most interesting thing I learned through the activity was that my team and I could analyze the data in 30 minutes. I also made some suggestions and recommendations to improve awareness and emphasize safe driving. I was surprised to discover that the majority of people who suffer from a car accident have already been involved in another accident. I believe it is extremely imperative to raise safe driving awareness.

Overall, I believe a career as a marketing scientist would be an ideal fit for me. I enjoy analyzing data and have the fundamentals to make informed decisions. By analyzing data, it is possible to determine what companies are doing well and what needs to be changed. Furthermore, storytelling is one of the things I most enjoy when people collect data and present their findings in a clear, concise, and compelling manner.

My most significant actions for preparing myself for this career are to gain experience and confidence in data analysis, build a portfolio that displays my skills in data analysis and marketing, and most importantly, establish relationships with potential employers. Make connections with people who can assist me in finding a job in the industry. Be aware of the latest trends: Stay abreast of the latest developments in data analysis and marketing technology.

Insights and Strategies for Success in the Digital Marketing Industry to the Power of Networking: Lessons from the Digital Media Marketing Seminar Series 

After meeting and interacting with various speakers for our class Digital Media Marketing Seminar Series, the following blog is inspired by those numerous events and is an extract of it. 

Part 1: What I learned 

As a student of the Digital Media Marketing Seminar Series, I have gained invaluable insights into the marketing industry, from trends to career opportunities from the various speaks that got the chance to present their career journey and about their daily tasks and responsibilities. The series brought in industry leaders who shared their experiences and knowledge, allowing us to engage with them and gain a better understanding of the various marketing industries. 

One of the speakers who inspired me was Blair Roebuck, Vice President of Marketing Science at Valtech. The digital marketing expert discussed the importance of using data-driven marketing strategies. She emphasized the significance of analyzing consumer behaviors and using the data to create targeted marketing campaigns. This had a significant impact on how I thought about my career options, as I realized the importance of developing strong analytical skills. 

Following are a few takeaways that I got from Blair’s session about working as a Marketing Scientist -  

Apart from data analysis and data wrangling, marketing scientists are also required to have a deep understanding of how a business works and over that being a good communicator is also a requirement.  

They must collaborate with various departments in the organization such as solution architects, developers, product owners, folks from UX/creative team, project managers, and account managers. It is important because it is a highly collaborative role, and you need to manage the expectations of various departments to succeed.  

They truly allow organizations to make data-driven decisions in pursuit of their marketing goals. They have a direct impact on a company's understanding of its customers, and opportunities, and then in optimizing their marketing strategies, to achieve better business results.   

These kinds of insights would have been very hard to find if it were not for the Digital Media Marketing Seminar Series. 

Another key takeaway from the seminar series was the importance of building a professional network. The speakers and alumni shared their experiences of how they developed their networks and recommended several processes and resources for building industry contacts. This was particularly helpful, as I realized that networking is critical for career growth and job opportunities. 

The most important thing I learned from the Digital Media Marketing Seminar Series was the need to be adaptable in the fast-changing marketing industry. The speakers emphasized the importance of staying up to date with current trends and technologies to remain competitive and relevant. This highlighted the need for ongoing learning and professional development, which I believe is crucial for success in any industry. 

In terms of some feedback about what I got out is, the Digital Media Marketing Seminar Series provided me with an excellent opportunity to engage with marketing professionals, gain industry insights, and develop my professional network. I highly recommend this course to any student looking to gain a better understanding of the marketing industry and build their career prospects. 

Part 2: Network and Resources 

Another thing as a student in the Digital Media Marketing Seminar Series that I've learned a lot about is the importance of networking and how it can help me find a job in the industry. Here are some tips and best practices I've picked up along the way: 

First, I've networked with several industry leaders who spoke at the seminar series, as well as with other students and alumni of the program. I've connected with them on LinkedIn and attended events and activities to build relationships and gain knowledge. 

Some of the speakers with whom I have connected on LinkedIn are -  

Ashley Walsh, Account Director at North Strategic 

Danielle Humilde, Regional Digital Manager at Marsh McLennan 

Amanda Lee, Account Director at The Aber Group 

Wendy Greenwood, my professor for Digital Media Marketing Seminar Series 

I've also joined marketing groups on LinkedIn and attended virtual networking events to make new connections. Volunteering has also helped me meet new people and expand my network. 

In terms of job finding resources, I've used job boards, company websites, and LinkedIn to search for marketing positions. LinkedIn has been the most useful as it allows me to see job postings and connect with recruiters and hiring managers directly. 

To keep in contact with my network, I've made a point to stay active on LinkedIn, commenting and sharing posts from my connections. I've also set up coffee meetings and phone calls to catch up with people and learn about their current projects. 

I secured my co-op position through networking as I reached out to someone I had previously met at an industry event who worked for the company I was interested in. They referred me to the hiring manager and I was able to secure an interview and ultimately the position. 

Some networking tips and best practices I've learned include: 

Be genuine in your conversations and build relationships based on shared interests and goals. 

Attend events and activities that align with your career aspirations. 

Don't be afraid to reach out to people on LinkedIn or through email to ask for advice or information. 

Follow up with people after meetings or events to keep the conversation going. 

Be patient, as building a strong network takes time and effort. 

Overall, networking has been an essential part of my job search and career development in the marketing industry. I encourage other students to take advantage of networking opportunities and to be proactive in building relationships and expanding their professional network.

Is Marketing Science as Intimidating as It Sounds?

Photo by Carlos Muza on Unsplash

Well, thanks to our Digital Media Marketing Seminar course guest speaker a couple of weeks ago, I now know that it’s not. If anything, it is a very interesting field where those with keen interest in data, business and technology will flourish. Our guest speaker, Blair Roebuck, is the Vice President, Marketing Science at Valtech.

What is Marketing Science Anyway?

Below are a couple of definitions.

“Marketing science is a field that approaches marketing predominantly through scientific methods, rather than through tools and techniques common with research in the arts or in humanities.” (Greenbook, 2020)

“Marketing science is the application of the scientific method and scientific experiments to the solution of marketing problems.” (Decision Analyst, 2017)

How do we make sense out of these definitions? Courtesy to Blair, we were able to get a much more digestible explanation that helped us gain a better understanding. Marketing science is achieved at the confluence of analytics and data, technology, and business. It takes complex data and transforms them into business insights designed to achieve an ROI.  I’m hereby sharing the key takeaways from our discussion with Blair in hopes that you will learn as much as I did.

The Recipe for A Great Marketing Scientist

A well-rounded Marketing Scientist will have foundational understanding of data curation/analysis, cross-cutting business objectives across industries and strategic thinking. Undoubtedly, sufficient familiarity with technology and digital initiatives in the field is equally important.

What’s So Attractive About Component-based Architecture on A Website?

I equate component-based architecture to a process where you frontload your efforts/time to enjoy the privileges it brings after it’s built. Once software developers invest the time to create a component-based architecture, content managers can create various iterations of pages based on the initially designed modules. This allows for a repeatable process and reduces the amount of time and inter-department coordination it takes to develop multiple pages of a website. (BlueModus, 2021)

Data Privacy: Friend or Foe of Marketing Science?

For a field that is heavily reliant on data, more specifically, consumer data, marketing science faces a threat posed by laws and regulations limiting access and/or use of personal data. Marketers have benefitted tremendously from third-party cookies to capture data that allows them to target consumers. Thus, companies like Valtech need to design cookie-less tracking approaches to adapt to the changing environment of user privacy infringement regulations. Not only do they need to adapt, but they also need to be one step ahead and anticipate potential restrictions to data access/use that could affect their business in the future.

Harnessing The Power of Data

My classmates and I had the opportunity to put our Marketing Scientist caps on and practice how to analyze data and propose marketing strategies. We were provided with data on consumption level of various types of alcoholic beverages per country. Blair tasked us with analysing the data available to recommend marketing strategies tailored to respective regions. What I found interesting about the exercise is that despite the data only having a handful of variables, we were able to draw many insights. We did so by approaching the relatively small dataset from various angles. Based on those insights, we proposed 4 marketing campaigns, each with multiple iterations. All of this in just 20 minutes. Imagine what we could have accomplished with an expansive dataset and more time. Data truly is powerful!

How Self-sufficient Do We Really Want Our Clients to Be?

Blair relayed to us that it is imperative for Marketing Scientists to equip their clients with the tools and knowledge they need to become self-sufficient. I asked if there was a fine line between empowering a client and making them self-sufficient enough to no longer need our services. I had often heard from businessmen that you want to create a system wherein your clients will always rely on your services. However, Blair explained that it is a testament of success for her company if their clients’ teams are proficient in using Valtech’s tailored products and systems. I’m convinced that this is a much more fulfilling perspective to have when working with clients you want to ultimately see win.

You Need to Be a Data Guru – Myth or Reality?

As soon as I heard of marketing science, I was immediately concerned about my subpar knowledge and experience of data handling and analysis. Fortunately for me, Blair debunked this misconception by sharing her personal experience. She explained how math was not her strong suit and that even in her current senior role in marketing science, she doesn’t need to be an expert in data analysis. It was reassuring to hear that the magic lies in building a solid team of experts in data analysis/science. The same goes for expertise in software development and other areas.

How Does This Play to My Advantage?

In my previous roles, I have extensive experience of managing a team of experts in fields I had subpar knowledge in. I can leverage this experience to demonstrate how I am able to lead a team of diverse expertise to build cohesive strategies aligned with any company’s and client’s business objectives.
