Marketing graduate Charlie Brunyate is focusing on the future and supporting a green economic recovery from the Coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n
Charlie chose the University of Gloucestershire as he grew up in the area, and wanted to study Marketing as he\u2019d enjoyed it at A-Level.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving been to visit Park campus,\u201d he said, \u201cit felt comfortable and a great location I was familiar with, as well as having a good reputation for their Marketing course \u2013 especially as a stand-alone course, rather than as part of a Business degree.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe atmosphere of the town and at the university is great \u2013 it\u2019s a great place to live and study, with so much variety given the amount of downtime students have. Work opportunities at the racecourse were always good fun too!\u201d<\/p>\n
Charlie enjoyed being able to choose his own modules and tailor his course to his own interests, and he particularly enjoyed the Marketing Communications and the Business Simulation modules in his final year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe course gave me a great foundation in Marketing which has been beneficial throughout my career as you can apply the learning to yourself \u2013 for example, going after jobs or to interviews, you are marketing yourself, so you can gain a slight competitive advantage in your personal sales pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Charlie graduated in 2007, in the middle of the financial crisis, and was unable to find a marketing role so worked in financial services. And in 2014, he took his talents in a different direction.<\/p>\n
