“The concepts I’m learning in class are directly applicable to my work. Every day, I work with brand managers, and the concepts and key terms I’m learning help me understand the motivations of my colleagues in brand management as I support them in procurement. And as I execute contracts between brands and their agency partners, it helps to have knowledge regarding the language used on those documents.”
