TURN YOUR TALENT, KNOWLDGE AND PASSION INTO A
MARKETING CAREER YOU LOVE!
Carve out your own path as a marketer where you do what you love and earn good money doing it, even during a pandemic!
WE HAVE ONE MISSION
To help you have a wildly successful marketing career.
But First, A Warning!
The marketplace has changed and continues to do so at the speed of light. A marketing degree is no longer the golden ticket to a successful marketing career.
You probably already know that, right!
Yet many are still studying and even graduating, with unrealistic expectations - only to have these shattered when they enter the real world.
So many continue to study course after course or watch endless training videos online, only to end up more confused and overwhelmed than they were to start!
Building a successful marketing career for the digital age requires a shift away from old methods. The old way of applying for jobs, where if you studied hard and got good marks you'd land a job and eventually get promoted are well and truly over.
The traditional methods won't get you the results you're after and are stressful and ineffective.
You need someone to show you how to see where the opportunities are now, how to leverage all the hard work you've done so far, and how to plug the gaps so you're a prime candidate for your dream marketing job.
That's why I'm thrilled you have an interest in Launch Your Marketing Career.

how can we help you

We have so many resources to help you make the progress you want for everyone in the first five years of their marketing career.
#FACT
Marketing as we know it is changing.
It was changing before the pandemic hit and this has just escalated all of the trends that were already gaining momentum.
➤ According to the Wall Street Journal 43% of graduates do not find work in the area they studied in, with the % higher for marketing degrees.
➤ Graduate programs are on the decrease and increasingly competitive. And current statistics indicate 75% of new marketers are likely to start their career in a small business or start-up environment.
➤ Businesses are more interested in marketers who can “get results” than they are in qualifications.
➤ How marketers will be employed is changing. Current trends indicate that the majority of workers will be freelancers by 2025 (Forbes).
Nobody should have to experience the frustration of seeing all your time and money put into studying marketing go to waste....
Yet many marketers are emerging from their studies feeling disappointed, confused and isolated as a result of not being able to land their first job (or even a decent internship!)
THEY CAN'T GET EXPERIENCE
They are frustrated and feel like they weren’t really equipped for the “real world” of modern marketing and don’t have what employers are looking for.
THEY DON'T HAVE CONNECTIONS
Having left the “nest” of their university or training-provider they feel isolated. They don’t understand the current industry landscape or have the connections or experience they need to get their foot in the door.
EVEN THINKING OF GIVING UP
I've spoken to so many marketers that are full of self doubt, even feeling like a failure to launch. Many turn to other “stop-gap” jobs in retail, IT, Admin or hospitality to “pay the bills” and feel trapped, and like they are giving up on the career of their dreams.
.
But it doesn't have to be that way....
I was continually hearing stories from talented people with the passion for marketing – feeling stuck and let down in their pursuit of starting their career, thanks to:
- Not having a clear idea of what sort of marketer they want to be
- Not having the connections or industry know how to get their foot in the door
- Feeling like they didn’t fit the stereotype of a “typical marketer”
- Battling with self-doubt around their ability to be a successful marketer
When I kept seeing marketing graduates around the country who we’re feeling stuck, after applying for numerous entry level marketing roles, and unable to get their foot in the door, I decided to do something about it.
In fact, I've seen countless marketers, even some of the "hardest cases" turn their situation around quickly...
Just Like Erin
Prior to joining the LYMC community I was unemployed and feeling very lost and disheartened. I had just been through an awful employment experience and was at a very low point in my career confidence and consequently second-guessing my passion for marketing.
I had no idea what I wanted to pursue as a career, or which direction to go in. I was even considering enrolling in an apprenticeship and spending 4 years to be a qualified tradesperson, disregarding my Marketing degree altogether.
Leaning from Nina I was able to re-inspire my confidence in the marketing career path - the turning point for me. I also started to gain confidence in my marketing skills.
This was when I finally received my first job offer in an entry-level marketing position, based in Adelaide, after nearly 3 months of unemployment and feeling worthless.
I am ecstatic to" have the opportunity to work for a well-known and great company and be valued for my tertiary marketing knowledge.

Why I started Launch Your Marketing Career...
-
I was continually hearing of stories from marketing graduates who were feeling stuck after applying for numerous entry level marketing roles and unable to get their foot in the door.
- Many marketers were emerging from their studies feeling disappointed, confused and isolated as a result of not being able to land their first job (or even a decent internship!).
- Being told they felt they weren’t really equipped for the “real world” of modern marketing and don’t have what employers are looking for - frustrated that no-one will give them a chance.
- It upset me to see such low self-confidence and bright young marketers full of self doubt. Many even turning to other “stop-gap” jobs in retail, IT, Admin or hospitality to “pay the bills”, feeling trapped and like they were giving up on the career of their dreams.

You're in good hands...

What would life be like if you landed YOUR ideal marketing role?
....if you could create a rewarding and meaningful marketing career that inspires you....
....when you no longer have to answer questions from well meaning friends and family about why you can't get a real marketing job....
......if you knew how to confidently start freelancing so you could earn money while you build your portfolio and get the experience that the big brands are looking for.
....when you finally have the respect you deserve as a professional marketer who is earning what they deserve and putting your knowledge and creativity to good use ....
And how amazing would it be to have all this without wasting more money on study that's not going to make a difference, or increasing the information overload of videos and trainings without delivering any real change.
How much easier would it be if you could cut to the chase, and quickly and easily discover what kind of marketing roles are best suited to you, and how to position yourself for those so you become in-demand?
How much freedom and peace of mind knowing that you have the tools and focus to direct your efforts in a way that's really going to make a difference?
How much lighter and happier you'll feel when the confusion and overwhelm is gone and you have a clear path forward?
That's what Launch Your Marketing Career is all about

"I can’t thank Nina enough for her encouragement and support throughout this really difficult time for me, which I know is all too common for young marketers. We’re all facing the same struggle, particularly in smaller cities or towns where the volume of opportunities is quite limited. The LYMC community are invaluable tools to help others in my position to land their first marketing position, and love it, while continuing to grow, and I look forward to continuing this journey with Nina and her team!"
Erin Hoklas
Marketing Co-ordinator
"LYMC helped me to narrow down my search and learn what kind of role I DON’T want (specifically that question sheet in training portal – amazing!) I was equipped with extra knowledge and tools to guide me throughout the job-seeking process and supported by a community as I came across roadblocks in the search for my dream role (which I now have!) I’m excited to continue learning and growing through LYMC, knowing that what I’m learning is practical and relevant to the real world. "
Amelia Lazarus
Marketing Officer
"Many of us have the same questions and fears, but one of the best part about LYMC is that the information mostly comes TO us, rather than us having to go and find it.
We also get the chance to ask to professionals who give us perspective from a work environment side (and not just from the academics).
But I think the best part is the feeling of belonging and it feels good to be part of something."
Alex Hidalgo
Marketing Student
"I joined LYMC during my first trimester at Deakin University as I was very eager to start off my career well. Throughout the program I have learned immensely from Nina and she always has amazing marketers like herself and others giving masterclasses on the essential skills needed in the work place. These masterclasses and the guidance from Nina have actually really helped me in my own academic journey as well. I now know how brand myself, how to write a proper blog, how to attend networking events and how to be proactive. It’s been an amazing journey and I always look forward to her next session! "

Backed by Proof: Launch Your Marketing Career gets REAL PEOPLE, REAL RESULTS
LYMC has been proven to get results and tested by a wide variety of marketers at varying stages of their marketing journey. Take a look at some of the recent students who decided that LYMC was right for them.
“I read so many stories which encourage me daily, and I can’t believe how much I have learned in 3 videos compared to all of my time at uni. I tell my friends about it all the time. Thank you very much and I mean that.”
(Anna W)
Before I joined Launch Your Marketing Career I was feeling like I was lost and alone in a huge ocean. Now I have dialogues with real personnel working in the industry. I have learnt ways to improve my LinkedIn profile to improve my employability and have more chances to connect with businesses/firms. The LYMC platform proves to be extremely useful and I’m so glad to be in such a supportive community.
(Dan S)
Before I was lost, nervous, unsure how to get the most out of myself and my degree. Now, I’m confident in my own ability and able to help others in the same situation. It would be hard to find the information that is provided on LYMC elsewhere, there are not many other platforms that have the knowledge offered.
(Daniel W)
Frequently Asked Questions
LYMC caters for young marketers in the first five years of their career.
This covers those starting out to those who are currently working in the industry and are wanting to better-position themselves for a promotion.
We are ideal if you:
→ Are trained in marketing ready to kick start your marketing career
→ Are tired of spending dozens of hours applying for jobs – only to be unsuccessful or not even hear back
→ Studied marketing a few years ago and have been working in a dead-end job or non-marketing role and are struggling to catch a break
→ Want to grow your network in a community of supportive and inspiring marketers
→ Are hungry to grow your confidence and marketing experience
LYMC is not a membership for people who have never studied marketing and are wanting to learn how to be a marketer.
It is for those who want a chance to put the theory they have previously studied into practice and use that to kick-start or level up in their marketing career. We aren’t a great fit for you if you:
→ Aren’t willing to put in the work to improve your skills as a marketer
→ Aren’t going to apply yourself, follow the courses or be consistent
→ Don’t think there’s more to being a great marketer than having “head knowledge” and don’t care about developing your character and personal skills
→ Already think you know everything. We are a community of life-long learners, an absolute must in our profession these days.
Absolutely! LYMC will guide you every step of the way - from how to identify your niche, to how to follow up after the interview. Plus, our community is there to support you throughout the entire journey.

We all know there's a lot of content available online. Good content. Free content. So much to the point where a lot of people are suffering from information overload to the point they're exhausted. One could spend days, week or months of precious time trying to work out what's right. Plus with so many different advice and opinions, how do you know what's the right advice to follow?
We take the legwork and the guess work out and deliver you bite-sized, snackable pieces of content that are easy to understand and simple to implement.
No worries! We record all the workshops, masterclasses and coaching calls so that you can access them on-demand, anytime you like. Plus, we also have a place to submit your questions so that even if you can't be on the call live, you can still get a response to your question.
Absolutely! Especially if you want to progress your career and go for pay rises, promotions and exciting new opportunities. Things in the marketplace are evolving rapidly and it's also a great way to stay in touch with industry trends and cutting edge tools! Plus, you can utilise the coaching & Q&A calls for on the job career support!
Yes and it's something we encourage young marketers to do and we give you the guidance, training and support to do it.
Being up to speed with the latest marketing tools is a moving target. We don't provide the training ourselves (there is plenty of free training available online) but what we do help with is showing you where to find it, and what's important and what isn't - so you're not wasting your money and time on more expensive courses that don't make a difference.
Our platform is built to support you long after you land your first job in the marketing industry. Many of the marketers who joined LYMC as fresh graduates are now into their second and third jobs.
We encourage you to dive straight in and if you don't feel the membership is right for you, you can get a refund in the first 14-days. Otherwise your access will continue through to the end of your subscription (6 or 12 months) at which time your subscription will renew automatically, or you can cancel and not renew.

"Master Plan" for career success
** This is YOUR time!**
Don't Get Stuck in a Boring Job that you don't LOVE!
I have actively trained, recruited and mentored hundreds of marketers over the years.
I am across what's working NOW, and have a proven track record of helping young marketers get hired.
Marketers I have trained have gone on to land jobs in world-class agencies and internationally known brands.
And I know that the #1 thing you need to do is get clear as a marketer on what you want to do.
If you're not in control of what kind of marketer you want to be, you're missing out on so many great opportunities.
There's never been a more exciting time to be a marketer - and businesses around the world are hungry for great young professionals - yes, even in the midst of a global pandemic.
I want you to ride the wave and be clear and confident in knowing where you fit and the value you bring.
Don't be another statistic that gives up on their marketing dreams, or wastes so much time and money learning stuff that isn't even going to help.
Let me help you on your journey to becoming a successful, well-paid, professional marketer that impacts the world.
I look forward to seeing you on the inside.
