Ian Phau, Hannah Whittaker and Matthew Gherardi join Grill The Marketer: Student Edition

With “Grill The Marketer: Student Edition” fast approaching on Thursday, 24th October 2024, the Curtin Marketing Association (CMA) has unveiled the full lineup of guest speakers who will join Carma Levene and Clay Smith, the creators of the original Grill The Marketer.

Joining Levene and Smith are; Ian Phau, the Founder of the Curtin Marketing Association and a John Curtin Distinguished Professor at Curtin University, who brings his vast expertise in luxury branding, having collaborated with top-tier brands such as Shiseido, Prada, and Gucci.

Joining him is Hannah Whittaker, a passionate Digital Communications Officer at the Department of the Premier and Cabinet and the 2021 President of the Curtin Marketing Association. Her experience in social media, content writing, and digital marketing across various sectors promises valuable insights for aspiring marketers.

The final guest speaker is Matthew Gherardi, an AMI Award Winner, founder of Surge Marketing and Volttrader, and past CMA committee member. Matthew has extensive experience in marketing, e-commerce, and entrepreneurship, making him an inspiring figure for students with entrepreneurial aspirations.

These marketing experts have each taken unique career paths and will share their insights on everything from breaking into the marketing industry to navigating its challenges and opportunities. While the panel will focus on answering student-driven questions, Grill The Marketer: Student Edition is also an excellent opportunity for industry guests to engage with emerging talent and fellow professionals.

Levene said: “We’re stoked that the Curtin Marketing Association wanted to emulate Grill The Marketer and create a version for students. The CMA have been long-time attendees of our event – we’re excited that they’ve extracted so much value from it, and can’t wait to participate in Grill The Marketer: Student Edition alongside some wonderful panellists; Ian, Hannah and Matthew.”
