// Humans of AMPed // ⁣ The spotlight this week is on AMPed's final year Advertising student @sam_wood_man - a down to Earth uni student, setting goals and experiencing uni life to the fullest! The photo below is him at AMPed's Welcome Back Pub Crawl 😎👏#HumansofAMPed #Advertising #unisocialite #QUTLife #QUTBusiness #AMPed ⁣ ⁣ 👉 Tells us a bit about yourself? //⁣ With a diploma of marketing in my arsenal, I am in my final year of business, majoring in the very fun discipline that is advertising. Like most high school students in year twelve, I was often asked about what I was planning on doing after school had ended. “ We will see” was often my response, but I always knew I wanted to be a creative. Not wanting to disappoint my working class family whom believed in the hard honest work of trades and sales, Advertising is where I landed. More specifically; copywriting, a career path that incorporated business, strategy and most importantly to me, creativity. ⁣ ⁣ 👉What has AMPed done for you? //⁣ In my final year of uni I have looked for different things to test myself, that manifested itself in attending the advertising challenge Colab 2019. Myself and the assigned team of diverse and talented young minds reached the top three, but just missed out on first place. As disappointing as it was, the experience was incredible and I now have great answer to the job interview question “when have you dealt with rejection in the past”. ⁣ ⁣ 👉 Advice for other students? //⁣ Challenging and keeping myself accountable by doing the things I have committed to. Whether that be, tutorials, lectures, uni events or social gatherings. ⁣ ⁣ 👉How did you get to where you are now?//⁣ AMPed has not only been a uni group for career development and guidance, it is also a place where I have worked on my personal development. Whether that be net working with students and industry professionals or having a SUPER-COOL-FUN-TIME at the not so industry events like the pub crawls. ⁣ ⁣ 👉 The future?//⁣ Let’s hope there is a future… and us humans figure stuff out. If we do, here’s to hoping I am writing some creative copy selling you on things you may or may not need 😉
// Humans of AMPed //⁣ @daniel_tracey12 - 2nd year Business student, volunteer at Interactive Minds, keen traveler and avid AMPed member! #HumansofAMPed #damndaniel #internationalbusiness #marketing #QUTlife #qutbusinessschool ⁣ ⁣ 👉 Tells us a bit about yourself? //⁣ Hey guys, I’m Daniel. I’m a second-year student studying a Bachelor of Business - International, majoring in Marketing and International Business. I grew up in Hong Kong and am interested and in travelling and experiencing different cultures.⁣ ⁣ 👉What has AMPed done for you? //⁣ Besides attending AMPed events, I am currently volunteering at Interactive Minds. They’re a company who runs regular events and programs to keep Marketers informed of the latest industry trends, changes and opportunities. It’s great to be able to absorb valuable knowledge from industry leaders, meet industry professionals, and hear what the future of marketing may look like. ⁣ ⁣ 👉 Advice for other students? //⁣ I believe that learning takes place inside and out of the classroom. Attending co-curricular activates such as the Business Advantage program and taking the advice of role models I’ve met along the way, has helped me get to where I am today.⁣ I first heard about AMPed, from our Business Advantage Co-ordinator Marvin Fox. The best piece of advice he gave me was to make the most out of the opportunities that QUT offers. Join that club, meet new people, attend valuable events, take on any challenge, and of course, have fun. After hearing this, joining AMPed seemed like a reasonable next step.⁣ ⁣ 👉How did you get to where you are now? //⁣ The AMPed community has welcomed me with open arms and allowed me to make the most out of my degree so far. AMPed has given me the opportunity to make new friends, network with leading industry professionals and gain a better understanding of the career pathway options I could take. ⁣ ⁣ 👉 The future? //⁣ Next year, I hope to be completing an international exchange year in the United Kingdom and Singapore. Before that, I’d like to complete an internship and improve my digital skills so I can share my experiences with my community.
// Humans of AMPed // ⁣ From Madagascar to Brisbane, AMPed member @sonya_avellin is getting the most out of her QUT Business degree! She consistently attends AMPed events and has some excellent advice to fellow students! #HumansofAMPed #internationalstudent #newfavmember #QUTlife #QUT #QUTBusiness ✈️ 👋🏻⁣ ⁣ 👉 Tells us a bit about yourself? //⁣ Hi guys! My name is Sonya Avellin, I came all the way from Madagascar to study Business at QUT and I am currently in my third year, majoring in International Business. Also, I have been working part-time for almost 2 years now at this Australian company which has operations in my home country.⁣ ⁣ 👉What has AMPed done for you? //⁣ I have been attending numerous events including AMPed ones, in and out of campus, which have reminded me that people don’t actually bite and that it is ok to be an introvert in a buzzing environment such as networking events.⁣ ⁣ 👉 Advice for other students? //⁣ To be honest, learning from my failures got me where I am now. Failing my engineering degree has taught me to look at life in a different angle. Since then, I chose what I really wanted to study and stuck to the plan. In fact, working while studying has given me real-world applications to my degree so I have become even more curious about corporates and determined to succeed. Determination and curiosity led me to Singapore and the Netherlands, interning for two big global companies whilst traveling!⁣ ⁣ 👉How did you get to where you are now?⁣ I joined AMPed this semester to make my uni life more meaningful and simply to meet new people. I guess now I can already tick both boxes. Business After Dark event was such an eye-opener for me in terms of connecting with people (face-to-face and on LinkedIn), listening to different stories and knowing about diverse careers perspectives.⁣ ⁣ 👉 The future?⁣ Next year, I see myself doing a Master Degree, hopefully in another country! But first, I want to explore some places in Australia!
We’re teaming up with @qutwib to give you all one MASSIVE night at @strike_brisbane! Take a study break for a GOOD CAUSE in week 11 and help us raise money for Women’s Legal Service, which provides free legal help for vulnerable women in Queensland.

// Humans of AMPed // ⁣ Is there something in the water at QUT? AMPed’s President @phoebeperalta is setting goals in New York City! 👌🏼✈🗽 Our Pres is currently interning for 3 months in NY yet still managing the team from a different time-zone. Keep your eye on her, she's going places! #BrisbanetoNY #HumansofAMPed #AMPedExec #NewYork #internationalwoman #thisiswhatdreamsaremadeof⁣ ⁣ 👉 Tells us a bit about yourself? //⁣ Hi! My name’s Phoebe and I’m the President of AMPed! I’m studying a double degree of Marketing and Law and I’m currently in my fifth year. My life is mostly consumed with study, AMPed and work (both at my family’s luxury brownie business, Dello Mano, and at the QUT Business School as a Student Learning Advisor).⁣ ⁣ 👉What exciting things have you been up to? //⁣ I am currently doing a three-month internship in New York City for a company called Effie Worldwide! Effie champions the practice and practitioners of marketing effectiveness through their annual Effie Awards, a globally respected awards program that spotlights marketing ideas that work in over 45 countries! It’s only my third week but so far the learning experience has been incredible! ⁣ ⁣ 👉How did you get to where you are now? //⁣ I strongly believe that three key ingredients have gotten me to where I am today: determination, a willingness to learn, and strong role models. I am lucky enough to have a family that fulfils this last ingredient for me, particularly my mother who is the definition of a fearless business leader. My experience having such a strong female role model in my life is the reason why I believe diversity in leadership is SO important. When you have the opportunity to see yourself reflected in positions of leadership, your ability to visualize yourself achieving your own goals becomes exponentially more tangible. ⁣ ⁣ 👉What has AMPed done for you? //⁣ AMPed has given me an opportunity to work with an incredibly motivated team that I can proudly call my friends. It has been so exciting to watch our membership grow faster than any previous year and to have an opportunity to meet many of our members at events. The professional development and industry contacts I have

// Humans of AMPed // ⁣ This week the spotlight is on AMPed's Postgraduate students! International QUT Master of Business (IMC) student @tonylumicao is striking the balance between uni and life, AND he's only been in Australia for 9 months! 👋👌🌞⁣ #HumansofAMPed #AMPed #Postgraduate #internationalstudent ⁣ ⁣ 👉 Tells us a bit about yourself? //⁣ Hi! I’m Anthony and I’m currently in my second semester at QUT studying Master of Business, Major in Integrated Marketing Communication⁣ ⁣ 👉What exciting things have you been up to? //⁣ I just started tutoring some undergraduate marketing students in QUT’s Keystone of Success program by day and regularly exercising by running along the Brisbane river at night. Striking the balance in my studies has always been my thing - giving back to others and taking care of myself.⁣ ⁣ 👉How did you get to where you are now? //⁣ I guess persistence got me through all these milestones. I worked for a couple of years in a market research firm back home. It immersed me in a lot of data mining for evidence-based and insightful research. I think the grit I acquired from my previous job prepared me well for studies abroad as an international student.⁣ ⁣ 👉What has AMPed done for you? //⁣ AMPed has given me that balance. The coffee catch-ups, the interesting breakfast talks, as well as discounts on movie tickets! ⁣ ⁣ 👉 The future? //⁣ Well, the most certain thing in life is uncertainty and change so I’m very much keen on being surprised by what the future holds! Exploring the rest of Australia is definitely in my bucket list!
// Humans of AMPed // ⁣⁣ 1st Year student @sas.harp enjoying being a part of AMPed family! 👌😚#1styearkillingit #HumansofAMPed #AMPed ⁣⁣#AMPedfamily⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 👉 Tells us a bit about yourself? //⁣⁣ Hi! I’m Saskia, an eager first year at QUT studying a Bachelor of Communication majoring in Advertising and PR.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 👉What exciting things have you been up to? //⁣⁣ Since graduating high school, I have been enjoying the freedom of being a uni student; Balancing uni, working at a clothing boutique, attending events and of course, daily yoga!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 👉How did you get to where you are now? //⁣⁣ When something inspires me, I take a note of it. The way brands market an idea has always interested me. So, I began to dream of a career in Advertising, where I can hopefully make positive difference through advertisements! Becoming a part of the AMPed community only seemed right.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 👉What has AMPed done for you? //⁣⁣ Amped has welcomed me by offering bountiful opportunities! From Coffee Catch-up’s to Industry speed dating, AMPed has introduced me to some incredible people! Thankyou AMPed 🤩⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 👉 The future? //⁣⁣ Looking into my crystal ball, I see myself taking on exciting opportunities, such as internships, travel and making new connections 🔮
// Humans of AMPed //⁣ Incredible 2nd Year AMPed student @anthony_di_carlo is out here setting #goals 👌😚 Student, founder of his own business and all-round champion! #HumansofAMPed #killingit #AMPed ⁣ ⁣ 👉 Tells us a bit about yourself? //⁣ Hey guys, I’m Anthony! I am a photography-loving, coffee-addicted, small business owner who is currently in my 2nd year of Business, majoring in Marketing and Integrated Marketing Communications. ⁣ ⁣ 👉What exciting things have you been up to? //⁣ When I’m not drowning in full-time study, I’m a part-time Marketing-Coordinator for GO Industrial - a small industrial start-up. We’re a young company, but there’s something really rewarding about watching a company grow and getting to learn the ins-and-outs of how to run a successful business. I’ve also recently started my own small business, Altitude Designs. Altitude is a creative project I started with the hopes of helping small businesses grow. It’s mainly focused around photography, digital and print media and website design. ⁣ Although it’s only early days for the company, it’s been an awesome experience where I’ve gotten to meet a range of fantastic people and was even able to do some fun, casual photography for a small clothing company when I travelled to Thailand last year.⁣ ⁣ 👉How did you get to where you are now? //⁣ I think it helps being a little OCD, but I always strive put in 110% and maintain a high work ethic. Being consistent and confident in the quality of work you do will help others be confident with what you do. ⁣ But I also think a huge part of building a successful career is networking. It really is ‘who you know’ just as much as ‘what you know’. Putting yourself out there leads to some incredible things. You can learn a lot from other people but you can also form some great connections. For instance, a lot of my clients for Altitude are people I’ve met at events, previous employments and even some people I’ve met at QUT.⁣ ⁣ 👉What has AMPed done for you? //⁣ It’s can be a little daunting joining new groups and I’ve only been involved with AMPed for a short time now but it has been amazing and such a welcoming community. AMPed has already allowed me to mee

// Important Announcement // Exciting news for AMPed's 2019 President @mackenziegeeves who moved to Sydney last weekend to start a graduate internship with iTunes ✈️🎶👌 #killingit #girlboss #nextSteveJobs #HumansofAMPed #AMPedAlumni 👉 What exciting things have you been up to? //⁣⁣ Hey there, I am a marketing and design obsessed 21 year old who just packed up and moved down to Sydney to start a graduate internship with iTunes. I studied Marketing and Interactive and Visual Design at QUT in Brisbane and was lucky to be apart of AMPed for 2 years. 👉What will you miss most about AMPed? //⁣⁣ What I’ll miss most about AMPed is hanging out with people with the same interests as me! I always love to be around people who challenge my opinions and help me think about things in new ways! 👉 Advice for other students? // My best advice for other students is to do what makes you happy. Cut out the things in your life that you dread (if you can), because at the end of the day I judge my success on my happiness and continued love for life. Also, get as much experience as you can in your field! Whether that’s paid or free, it all counts. 👉How did you get to where you are now?⁣⁣ I think I got to where I am now by having a strong work ethic, the kind where people know they can ask you to do something important and you’ll get it done. I also think I put myself out there as much as I could to get experience in my areas of interest by volunteering at events and getting internships, this really helped me decide what I wanted to do for my career post-uni and helped put me in front of candidates with less experience! But most importantly, a positive attitude and contagious enthusiasm is what helped me build strong relationships with my peers and leaders 👉 The future?⁣⁣ To me the future looks like living and working in Sydney for now, exploring everything the city has to offer and networking the hell out of the next 12 months!
// Humans of AMPed // @yasmine_e #HumansofAMPed #AMPedAlumni 👉 Tell us a bit about yourself? // Hey everyone! My name is Yas and I was the AMPed VP in 2018 prior to that I was the Editor and Marketing Director. If I had to pick 4 words to best describe my spending habits it would be travel, food, music and gifts. 👉 What exciting things have you been up to? // After completing my degree at QUT I began working at Tanda – an awesome QUT founded start-up here in Brisbane. Tanda was a fab place to learn and put your newly developed skills to the test. I highly recommend gaining experience in the start-up space within Brisbane, there is so much to learn and so many inspirational people to meet! I am now working for Expedia Group an Online Travel Agency founded in the US. Expedia has over 24 brands including Wotif and Hotels.com with offices in over 14 countries. I also started my post graduate studies however have put them on pause to enjoy working life. 👉 What has AMPed done for you?// Joining AMPed was hands down one of the best decisions I made at uni… along with my exchange to Copenhagen. AMPed’s benefits are multifaceted beginning with having an amazing team of people all aiming to give our student cohort the best possible uni life experience. Everyone in AMPed volunteers their time, energy and ideas to the society and that in itself is amazing. Outside of this AMPed teaches you time management skills, problem solving skills and gives you the opportunity to meet and hear from some of Brisbane’s biggest and brightest students, people and companies. 👉 Advice for other students? // The more you put in the more you get out! I believe this in every area of life and especially at uni. Do as much as you can to build your network, experiences and make the most of your lecturers they have so much to offer! I also believe in learning things and meeting people who challenge your way of thinking, every time I have been forced to do this is when I have grown the most and I now actively make an effort find these experiences.
