Manchester Metropolitan University Student receives Econsultancy’s first David Hughes Award for Excellence in Digital Marketing

The focus of the award is to provide the successful student with plenty of visibility in the industry. Jenny will contribute to the Econsultancy blog regarding her experiences of digital education through university and her subsequent search for work. She will also be featured on the soon to be launched careers section of the site and Econsultancy’s CEO, Ashley Friedlein, will be offering career mentoring over the coming six months.

David Edmundson-Bird, who acted as Jenny’s dissertation supervisor in her final year at Manchester Metropolitan University Business School, said: “The award is a great way for undergraduates to gain recognition outside the educational system and the backing of Econsultancy and David’s name lends significant weight to their achievements. Jenny is an extremely deserving graduate with great prospects and our hope is that the award will continue to gain credibility as a mark of excellence in digital marketing education.”

Jenny Thaw said, “Winning the award was quite a surprise. The digital marketing aspect of my degree was fascinating and I’m extremely pleased with the results I achieved. I’m pleased to have found a position straight out of university and I hope to continue to grow my experience in this field. The award certainly adds to my CV – I think this kind of recognition from respected organisations in the industry is invaluable to recent graduates and I hope that the award grows in terms of success and recognition.”
