Why did you choose LSE, and why did you choose your programme of study?
Reputation, personal interests
Overall, how do you look back on your LSE experience?
Inimitable
Please describe your career path to date:
Since leaving LSE in 2013, I joined Ofcom as a Content Policy Associate - a rather natural fit for a Media and Communications Governance Student. Having a Master's from the renowned M&C Department at LSE was deemed equivalent to a two-year graduate scheme at the same organisation. My analytical skills and my knowledge of research methods, which I got at LSE, were routinely used at my job.
In 2016 I joined a strategy advisory firm called Mediatique.
Why did you choose your current job?
I wanted to combine my background in Media and Communications Governance and the knowledge I had acquired at Ofcom with my earlier background in economics and management.
Tell us about your current job:
Mediatique is a small but renowned strategy advisory firm based in London. We work mostly with broadcasters and platform providers and other media companies in the UK and Europe.
My day-to-day job involves market data and trend analysis, financial modelling, and forecasting. We also provide policy analysis and assistance to media companies who need to adjust their strategy on the basis of policy / legal changes.
What advice do you have for LSE students who are looking to enter a similar profession to you?
Stay up to date to what is going on in the market; don't take the headlines on news websites at face value.
