Career Opportunities

Key opportunities include:
Become a recognised social media expert

The uptake of social media amongst businesses isn’t slowing down. More businesses are establishing a social media presence for the first time. Many more are growing their social budgets, posting more often, and producing higher quality content. But social media management isn’t something you can just pick up. It’s incredibly data-driven, creative, and disciplined. You can get in on the ground level of this growth by formalising your social smarts with a diploma-level qualification from Monarch Institute.

Don’t want to be a full time social media manager? No worries. The diploma can help you add strings to your bow that’ll help you stand out as a general marketing professional. After all, many reports suggest that businesses – especially smaller ones – are still more likely to handle their social media marketing internally. Being able to handle social media responsibilities, and deliver measurable results, is a plus for potential employers. And the variety of tasks will keep you on your toes.

The Diploma of Social Media Marketing will give you a taste of subject areas which are explored in much greater depth in degree-level courses. Upon completing the diploma, you may choose to pursue your interest in one of these areas. Potential pathways include a Bachelor of Marketing.

I’ve worked in various digital marketing and business development roles for regional airlines, hotels and cruise liners. I managed a hot air balloon business, Global Ballooning Australia which took me around the world as I helped launch the experience to the international market.  I penned what I learned in a self-published book, Adventures of a Balloon Girl.

In 2014 I followed my calling to teach and became a certified trainer and assessor launching my own training and mentoring practice. Since launching I have developed over 30 online and group training programs specialising in digital, social media marketing, and tourism.

What gets me out of bed in the morning?

Igniting excellence in people! I love spending time with my family and using all the digital tools available to help business and careers grow. What really gets me out of bed most mornings though is my 4.30am alarm. I love to start the day with a morning run or strength training to keep me fit and energised.
