Her career trajectory is a testament to the valuable skills and connections she built at Chapman University. Today, she is the Senior Director of Brand Strategy at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tacobell.com\/\">Taco Bell<\/a>, where her journey began just a few months before graduating.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on her Chapman experience, Katie shares, &#8220;I was in the part-time MBA program while I worked full time in advertising on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaartslab.com\/\">Apple<\/a>.&#8221; This balance between work and education laid a strong foundation for her future success in the marketing field.<\/p>\n<h3>Building a Marketable Skill Set<\/h3>\n<p>Katie attributes much of her professional success to the education and experiences she gained at Chapman University&#8217;s Argyros College of Business and Economics. &#8220;Chapman helped me build a marketable skill set that helped me succeed in all areas of marketing like negotiation, social media, international, statistics, etc.,&#8221; she explains. These skills were crucial as she navigated various roles in her career.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the academic curriculum, Katie highlights the importance of connections made during her time at Chapman. &#8220;I made great connections that were invaluable in my career post-grad,&#8221; she says. These relationships have continued to support her professional growth over the years.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6680 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/06\/4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"263\" height=\"352\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>International Adventures<\/h3>\n<p>A pivotal moment in Katie&#8217;s career was taking on an international role for Taco Bell, running marketing for Europe and based in the UK. &#8220;My husband and 6-month-old baby boy and I all moved for the adventure of a lifetime,&#8221; Katie recalls. &#8220;It was a time we all grew personally, but I also grew so much professionally from the experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This international stint broadened her perspective and enriched her understanding of global marketing dynamics, significantly impacting her career trajectory.<\/p>\n<h3>Influential Figures<\/h3>\n<p>Reflecting on her time at Chapman, Katie fondly remembers influential professors and peers. &#8220;Dr. Myhr, of course, was a significant influence, and my peers I met in the program as well,&#8221; she notes. These relationships and interactions were instrumental in shaping her educational experience.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6681 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/06\/3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"305\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of her favorite classes was a winter session with Wing Lam. &#8220;It was a great view into marketing and brand building that I still think of today,&#8221; Katie shares. This class provided practical insights that have stayed with her throughout her career.<\/p>\n<h3>Mentorship and Lifelong Learning<\/h3>\n<p>Katie&#8217;s involvement at Chapman extended beyond her studies. She actively participated in the MBA mentor program as a mentee and later as a mentor. &#8220;I learned that I really love to coach and help guide others, especially if they\u2019re trying to get into a similar field or career path,&#8221; she says. This passion for mentorship has been a consistent theme in her professional life, underscoring her commitment to giving back and supporting others.<\/p>\n<p>Katie offers valuable advice for current students and recent graduates aiming to follow a similar path. &#8220;I always advise anyone who wants to be on the client side in marketing to do a stint on the agency side: it builds endurance, gives you a lot of experience quickly, and hopefully makes you a more empathetic client in the future,&#8221; she suggests.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/katietaylor3\/\"><strong>Connect with Katie on LinkedIn &gt;&gt;&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\\&#8221;I always advise anyone who wants to be on the client side in marketing to do a stint on the agency side: it builds endurance, gives you a lot of experience quickly, and hopefully makes you a more empathetic client in the future\\&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5208,"featured_media":6682,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[130],"tags":[852,251,853,854,855],"class_list":["post-6678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-argyros-alumni","tag-apple","tag-mba-mentor-program","tag-mentor","tag-taco-bell","tag-wing-lam"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
