Nicholas Wainwright, President at Boodles, came to campus to speak to students on the MA International Fashion Marketing yesterday.

Roshan, a student on the course, said: “this was an amazing talk with Nicholas – it was very inspiring, and I surely took away a lot of pointers for my assessment.”

The Boodles project is a live collaborative project between students from MA International Fashion Marketing and the 200 year old British fine jewellery brand. As part of their real-world assignment, students will generate ideas for an innovative marketing communications campaign for Boodles.

Good luck to our MA International Fashion Marketing students as they embark on this hands-on learning journey – how incredible to be able to learn with guidance from real industry experts.
