Bachelor of Business (Marketing) graduate
As Assistant Customer Manager of Exports for Unilever Australia, Dana Buchman works in Sydney, flies to Fiji for work, and is responsible for promoting some of the most well known brands in the world.
Dove, Lynx, Rexona, Lipton, Flora, Continental, Streets and Magnum are just some of Unilever's high-profile brands, and it is these that Dana is charged with marketing in the Pacific Islands.
"My responsibilities include coordination of all marketing and promotional activities in the Pacific Islands, management of the export budget, coordinating and organising all advertising-including television, radio and print-and customer management, including improving communication with our distributors in those areas," Dana says.
"It's an extremely interesting and challenging job, with an amazing company."
"It is definitely fascinating to learn about the Pacific Islands culture and the products that Unilever offers, and I am enjoying all the challenges and changes."
"I am now working for a multi-national company, with incredible opportunities to grow, climb the corporate ladder, travel the world and challenge myself."
"As my mentor, USC Tourism and Marketing Lecturer Gayle Mayes once said, 'Dana, this is truly what dreams are made of'."
