Electric Ireland and Bobby Kerr fuel Students with a Cup of Inspiration

cup-of-inspiration.jpg

Yesterday, 30th June 2016, UCD Smurfit Business School and Electric Ireland hosted the annual summer Marketing Development Programme Business Breakfast in the Shelbourne Hotel, Dublin.

The event was organised by students from the UCD Marketing Development Programme. The special guest speaker was entrepreneur and renowned business man, Bobby Kerr who delivered a key note address on
“Leadership and Innovation in a Competitive Marketplace”.

Drawing from his experience with a number of successful Irish start-ups, Bobby spoke of the importance of remaining creative and innovative when operating in a competitive market.

Our customers drive our business. It is important to have a value proposition and value doesn’t have to mean cheap. Value means offering customers something so good that keeps them coming through the door.

He attributes his success to a number of key factors including setting realistic goals and targets, having a real brand strategy and the importance of integrity.

The UCD MDP takes a leading role in facilitating the development of professional marketeers by providing students with the opportunity to work as advisors on commercial projects and gain practical experience.
