Holly Brooker
Year graduated: 2010
CURRENT ROLE:
Marketing Manager, Spotify
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS OF 2018:
Throwing a birthday party for Stormzy in Mallorca. Organising intimate concerts for Justin Timberlake, Kylie Minogue, The 1975 and George Ezra. Leading brand campaigns and artist marketing campaigns, which I organise the media, budget and creative work for.
HOW DID THE COURSE PREPARE YOU FOR YOUR CAREER?:
‘My job is permanently wading in at the deep end. Its high pace, last minute and low resource – the course certainly threw us into the deep end when I was there, having us organise and run our own events, so I was ready to get my hands dirty, and still do!’
WHAT IS YOUR ONE PIECE OF ADVICE FOR CURRENT STUDENTS?:
‘Make as many contacts as you possibly can “in the real world” I got, and kept, my role all via relationships. Be nice and work hard.‘
