Why recruit Bord Bia Marketing Fellowship Alumni?

Marketing Fellowship Alumni offer unique value for your organisation in many ways:

  • They are capable, smart and ambitious.
  • Through the rigour of the Fellowship MSc, they have developed analytical skills, broad critical and creative perspectives, reflective capability and strong communication skills.
  • Through working on multiple assignments simultaneously, with a diverse range of food and drinks companies including Meat, Consumer Foods, Small Business, Seafood & Horticulture, Fellows have cultivated international export market experience and deep food-industry sector expertise.
  • The placement of Marketing Fellows in overseas markets in the execution of commercial assignments on behalf of client companies has enabled them to work effectively across disciplines and across organisational and geographic boundaries; to evaluate regulatory, political, and macroeconomic forces; and to excel amidst marketplace uncertainty.
  • They have valuable language skills. A significant number of the Alumni are fluent in an international language, including German, French, Russian and Chinese.
  • Their experience of establishing themselves overseas has cultivated the resilience, independence, agility and high levels of integrity required to enable them to overcome commercial complexity and cultural challenges - and ultimately to deliver commercial impact.

No matter where your role is based, a member of our Marketing Fellowship team will work closely with you on defining and delivering on your sourcing strategy
