Ready to make an impact in a digital economy
By enrolling in one of Swinburne’s entrepreneurship and innovation courses, Jack found himself at the epicentre of Swinburne’s expertise, which meant that he was able to successfully bring his ideas to life.

“I don’t think I even realised at the time that the skills and experience I was acquiring from the entrepreneurship and innovation course were so vital. I would not have been able to start my digital marketing companies without the business, finance and industry learnings I received in the course.”
In a world where the demand for digital marketing skills outstrips supply, Jack is passionate about seeing brands reach their full potential.
“The pace of change and growth within the digital marketing industry keeps me motivated. The opportunity that this creates is exciting. There are always new skills, strategies, and technologies to learn,” Jack says.
