Business Management Grad Runs Her Own Marketing Company

After receiving a degree in Merchandising & Marketing, Caitlyn Braegelmann pursued her B.S. degree in Business Management at FIDM. Upon graduation, she received her MBA from Loyola Marymount University in Marketing. While working as a Domestic Marketing Manager for Hunter Industries, Caitlyn managed the social media accounts for the large manufacturing company. This past January, the FIDM Grad took the leap to start her own marketing company, Speak Marketing Services, where she manages social media and offers a variety of marketing services for various clients. 

"My advice to anyone looking to go into marketing in general is to get your hands dirty and try everything," she says. "Find a company that offers you opportunities to work in many different types of marketing because you never know which areas you'll love the most. When new projects come up, be the first to stand up and volunteer. If you find yourself at a job where there aren't very many opportunities, create them yourself by proving the business value of something you want to pursue for the company. And always bring solutions, not problems."
