Stephanie Johnson Gosnell

“Having an M.S. degree made me stand out in the crowd of applicants. It showed potential employers that I am passionate about marketing and understand all aspects intricately. It gave me a strong marketing foundation that made entering the workforce more of a next step instead of a new journey. The program is very intentional with its focus on different areas of marketing, including analytics, research, strategy, and communication, all of which are marketing tactics that I use every day. Marketing Research was by far the most useful course for me because, simply put, marketing is constantly changing. What worked yesterday may not work today, and relying on data to make decisions will always be a critical part of the practice. As a marketer, research is key. It's what helps us understand our customers and their needs, and it's what allows us to make data-driven decisions. That's essential for any business because you can't create a successful marketing strategy without knowing what your customers want.”

“While in the M.S. Marketing program, I was surrounded and supported by an incredible group of faculty, staff and students. The program instilled a level of confidence in my abilities and validated that this was the industry in which I wanted to build my career. The value of the program is that it is a full-service offering to ensure students leave with a well-rounded knowledge base to pursue a career as a marketing professional. Whether it was data and analytics or market trends and consumer behavior, I still find myself tapping into that knowledge to inform and grow within my career daily.”

“My M.S. Marketing degree gave me a firm foundation for how marketing and business decisions in the real world are made. Coming out of the program, I had an understanding of how to design a survey, collect data in a methodologically sound way, analyze data, and use that data to make informed business decisions and track business impact. This program allowed me to see how consultants in the strategy space make decisions. Now that I work with these consultants daily, I have insight into what it is they do with the data my team provides so I can better partner with them and improve their research experience. The program’s quantitative courses were the most impactful to me. Marketing was already interesting to me, but seeing how data can be brought to life and combining those two together was a key learning insight for me as I entered the market research industry.”
