Leah Tennant
Senior Account Manager, Naked Communications
Graduate, APM, Advanced Diploma of Marketing Events

I originally enrolled at university but decided it wasn’t the best option for me. I was worried all the theory wasn’t going to prepare me properly for the workforce and had heard great things about APM.

The industry experience and volunteer opportunities were brilliant. Having been a university student, I wanted to be taught by industry practitioners, rather than academics. They have walked in the shoes of an events manager - not just read the books!

For the past 2 ½ years I have been living and working in the UK. At first I was stage managing at large festivals such as Glastonbury with acts like 'The Killers' and 'The Who'. I then moved onto managing the UK’s largest nationwide experiential marketing campaign (which won loads of awards). I’m now a Senior Account Manager, manage a team of staff and have just worked at The Venice Film Festival and The Belgian Grand Prix. And all this, and I’m only 24!
