What alumni say about us

Alumni stories: Martyna Tarnawska
I started working in the first year of my studies, in the second term. I was looking for inspiration and practice. The most important turning point was the lecture by Dr. Kreft, who told us about the strength and potential of social channels in marketing. I worked in several agencies for a year, including one of the biggest social listening tools – Brand24. All the time, however, I was looking for a place where I would have contact with other people, the opportunity to share my knowledge. At the end of my second year of studies, I got a job at a Cracow-based consulting company, Socjomania, where I have been working until today.
