Big Topics in Marketing: Agency and In-house Marketing

Oct 26th, 2023

At this exciting event, AMA hosted Tyler Hustwick from Red Door Interactive, Nick Tjarksen from Jack in the Box, Grace Singh from Crowe PR, and Leif Edgar from TaylorMade Golf. This wonderful group of accomplished Marketing professionals described the ways in which Agency work differs from In-house careers. The main take away from our speakers was that agency work is typically a fast-pace work environment and allows for much more variety in projects based on the number of brands that marketers work with. In-house still requires adaptability, but projects and roles are much more specialized and based on a fixed skillset.

Each speaker provided presentations about their career journeys and current companies. From Product Marketing to PR, attendees were exposed to the variety of possibilities that exist with a Marketing degree. It was very eye opening to see examples of the creative and strategic skills required to be a successful marketer. This 'big topic' was one that all of our members were interested in and provided more clarity as many of us delve into our internship and job searches.
