Marcus Graham Project

The Marcus Graham Project has had a profound impact on my life. It opened the doors for me to begin my career as I had never worked in a team to create real advertising campaigns before. The program pushed me to work harder than I thought I could and to grow both professionally and personally. This is thanks to the setting that I was in where I was given freedom to create my own path, but had a wealth of resources including some incredible mentors in front of me.

During the program, I also discovered my interest in my current profession of account planning. I have always been interested in how people think and make decisions, but the program allowed me to confirm this is what I want to do. This was incredibly important as it allowed me to be focused and come out of the program with confidence that I had what it takes to be an account planner.

Lastly, in addition to equipping me with skills, The Marcus Graham Project convicted me with a desire to give back. This encourages me to work harder and be more focused even after coming out of the program. In addition, this allows me to work hard for the right reasons and therefore be joyful, even if I may need a reminder once in a while!
