“My placement year was a pivotal part of my studies…”

Elly Russell graduated from Brighton Business School in 2011 with a degree in Business Studies with Marketing.

I’m very proud to be a Brighton Business School alumnus, because it helped me unlock my interests within our subject area that has led me to my career in Digital Marketing.

My placement year was a pivotal part of my studies, as I discovered my interest for Search Engine Optimisation from learning and applying the principles in a real working environment. I was really grateful for the flexibility to tailor my final year modules to reflect this and got excellent support in working through these.

As a result, I started my first agency job three days after I graduated and have had an exciting career that challenges me since.
