Second semester guest speakers!

The MSc Digital Marketing career ambassadors and class reps will be hosting guest speakers at Smurfit during the next couple of months.

Since many of us are trying to figure out what kind of jobs we’d like to have after graduation, we thought about inviting professionals from different sectors of the industry to tell us about their companies.

Specific rooms and subjects will be announced closer to each date.
