Andrea Bradbury – Marketing and Economics double major
While at UWA I studied a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Marketing and Economics with a Business Law minor and did a semester on exchange at Copenhagen Business School. I completed the Communications Council Graduate Program in 2013 and was hired as a graduate with Meerkats, the brand leadership company, in 2014 where I continued to work as Brand Coordinator until late 2016. Following this, I moved to West Australian Ballet as part of their Marketing Team, where I’ve been for the past year.
Andrea Bradbury – Marketing and Economics double major
While at UWA I studied a Bachelor of Commerce (Majoring in Marketing and Economics with a Business Law Minor) and did a semester on exchange at Copenhagen Business School. I completed the Communications Council Graduate Programin 2013 and was hired as a Grad with Meerkats, the Brand Leadership Company in 2014 where I continued to work as Brand Coordinator until late 2016. Following this, I moved to West Australian Ballet as part of their Marketing Team, where I’ve been for the past year.
I was just lucky that my step into Advertising was so smooth and I’ve always been conscious that it often isn’t that easy for others. So outside of work I’ve been keen to be involved in providing support for people wanting to move into the Advertising/Marketing Industry through mentoring events with year 12s at my old high school, organizing social and networking events as a Committee Member onYoungbloodsWA and volunteering at UWA’s Markam events.
My nerdy passion is strategic thinking and creative solutions. Good brands really understand the importance of marketing strategy being at the very core of their business - in terms of understanding what it is that their company exists in the world to do. Then they use that strategy to make decisions on what products to sell, how to make them, where and how to sell them and what function their brand plays in the lives of their consumers. If time and energy were no object I truly would be the happiest person in the world to sit down with every business and talk about their strategy. I guess I would like to make a difference in the world by trying to provide businesses that add real value into the world with the tools they need to design a marketing strategy for their sustainability.

I chose to study Accounting and Marketing because I knew both would provide me with a fantastic overall understanding of how businesses operate and the world of commerce. I really enjoy being able to use creativity and research in my Marketing major while developing more analytical and number-based skills in Accounting.

I’m studying a double major in Marketing and Management. I’m looking forward to applying what I’m learning in my course directly to my family business, which is something studying part-time has permitted me to do. The majority of my university life has been spent with the Economics and Commerce Student Society (ECOMS). The campus culture of UWA is one of the main reasons why I transferred to UWA – the atmosphere is so inviting and through organisations like ECOMS, the professional development opportunities are endless.
The most enjoyable part of my academic degree would have to be working in teams. It is one of the most underrated aspects of university education as there is hardly ever a time in any workforce where you don’t have to work in a team.
