Introduction 👋

Today, it’s the city of Dubai’s turn to be studied and reported on by those who know it best: our expatriate graduates who, despite the distance, receive support from KEDGE Alumni throughout the year thanks to our range of online services.

Stakeholders

  • Philippe BLOUIN
    Project Coordinator - Omnicom Media Group

    Five years after starting at KEDGE Business School and two Masters later, Philippe is about to graduate - in July 2022. He first entered the Grande Ecole Master's programme and then completed an MSc in Marketing, Brand Management and Customer Experience which was taught entirely in English.

    His involvement in numerous projects at KEDGE allowed him to develop skills that are not taught in the classroom (soft skills), as well as helped him find his first internship.

    After completing a first Year Away internship in Paris at the events and communications agency Auditoire (Omnicom Group), Phillipe then flew to Dubai to do a second Year Away internship, still with Auditoire. With the internship interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic just one month after his arrival, he decided to return to Dubai for his end-of-study internship to complete the experience he had begun.

    Phillipe is still at Auditoire in Dubai as the task he is working on was extended for the needs of a project. He wants to start his career there.
