Becky Amon, Australian Marketing Institute’s 2022 Emerging Marketer of the Year, is not only an alumnus of the Bachelor of Media and Communications at UNE but got her start in the UNE Corporate Communications office as a Social Media and Communications Officer.
Within her degree, Becky was able to participate in two work-integrated units with internships at Tamworth Business Chamber as a Marking and Events Intern and at Savvy Birds as a Marketing and Project Coordinator/Social Media Advisor.
The AMI Emerging Marketers Mentoring Program that Becky was a mentee of, aims to connect aspiring marketers to senior marketer mentors within Australia’s marketing and media world.
She states that “Throughout this program…I have made leaps and bounds as a marketer, and as a person. Progress I could not have dreamed of making without the encouragement of a mentor.”
Becky’s 3 Hot Tips for current students are:
- Learn from Others
- Surround yourself with people who are experts in the areas you’re weaker in; that’s how you will grow.
- Take work experience units
- Take advantage of units within your degree that offer work experience or an internship!
- Turn a mistake into an opportunity
- Work with people who help you see your mistakes as learning opportunities.
