Brand Manager at Transport For Wales and CIM Diploma in Professional Marketing alumnus, said:

“This course played a pivotal role in my development as a marketer. At Transport for Wales, it is my responsibility to effectively manage the brand; from developing the strategy to delivering effective campaigns across all marketing touchpoints. 

“The course helped me channel ‘bigger-picture- thinking’ and how I could effectively use creative tactics to support the organisational strategy. Being taught by lectures with hands-on marketing experience meant that in-class discussions were vibrant, and each of us could bring our own professional, marketing experiences to the table.”
