      Marketing Intern

      Working in marketing department of Philip Morris Ljubljana was an amazing learning experience. I learned tons about marketing in big companies, consumer engagement, brand building, various reports, market and consumer analyses and so much more. I was also lucky enough to play a big part in two of the most innovative product launches in tobacco industry and to partake in Marlboro Red revamp. It's a thing that happens once in a generation.Sadly, marketing in tobacco industry is not the most creative field and that is why I chose to part ways with the company and start my own business.
