Dale O’Brien Webinar

Marcellin Old Collegian Dale O’Brien has over 15 years experience at a senior level in FMCG.

Hear his insights on COVID and consumer patterns, only available to financial members.

Coronavirus is making it more difficult for young people to get their start in a career.

Listen to the career starts of Matthew Frost and Patrick Hamblin for insights into how these young Old Collegians maintained connections with the Marcellin Alumni Community following Yr12 graduation - and how this helped.

More than ever, keeping connected to those who know you, is paramount as unemployment figures rise, industry sectors shrink, and while other work sectors expand, in this new economy.

Matthew and Patrick have remained great Marcellin community ambassadors, volunteers and active community participants, as have their families.

Is choosing your bank similar to your politics and your footy team? Do we primarily bank with who our parents banked with? How do banks operate within our community?

Wednesday the 24th of June at 7:30pm we will be hearing from Carly Kluge from Bendigo Bank.

Bendigo Bank, Heidelberg and East Ivanhoe Branch, has sponsored Marcellin groups for many years. As one of Australia’s most trusted brands and Australia’s 5th biggest retail bank, every day Bendigo’s customers help change and save lives, simply by banking with them.

Support of local communities like Marcellin is the keystone of the business model.

Join us for the Marcellin Business Network Wednesday Webinar as Mark discusses millennial consumer trends and what these mean for SME’s.

How can you maximise your audience reach and maintain it? What are consumers looking for? What is the “why” of your business and why is it important to your customers?

Join the discussion with Anthony as he relates Bronzeworks’ beginning & development to the company of today and plans for the future. A must for those interested in successful niche businesses.
