October 29, 2019

Matilda Rosengren, Head of Marketing at GANT Benelux, will talk about the company’s current challenges, give insights and practical tips while reflecting back on her journey from intern to Head of Marketing at GANT.

This seminar will be split into 2 parts:

In the first part, Matilda will talk about her fast-paced career journey, looking back at her first internship to her current position as Head of Marketing at Gant. She will give tips on how to get that first internship, shine in it and cover post-internship possibilities.

The second part will feature Gant – an American Sportswear brand expanding rapidly in the Benelux market – and their newest marketing challenges. Who is today’s customer, target group, how does Gant target them and why 'Never Stop Learning' is the way there.

More information soon to come.
