Rebecca Stynes
Events Co-ordinator, Austereo Network Sydney
Graduate, Diploma of Marketing

I chose APM because a friend had been to the college the year before and loved it. I enjoyed learning new things and activating my brain again! I was heaps of fun getting to know everyone in the class and I loved the presenting we had to do. It’s great getting up in front of people. I really learnt alot during my time at the college, stuff I use every day in my role.

I started out as National Multimedia Promotions Co-ordinator for Triple M. I took care of any online promotions that were happening in the station nationally and I managed a team of five co-ordinators spread across Australia. I am now Events Co-ordinator of the Austereo Network Sydney. This job involves looking after all station events for 2dayFM and Triple M.
