Evette Pauleen Tan’s Summary

Marketing is about finding a niche, and this is the story of my life. I started out as a Business Administration major at the University of the Philippines before I decided to pursue a master's degree in Marketing Communications at the Illinois Institute of Technology's Stuart School of Business, moving halfway across the world in the process.

Right now I'm at GasPedal, a word-of-mouth marketing company led by Andy Sernovitz, working specifically on the Blog Council, which was set up so that industry leaders could engage in discussion with each other to share best practices as the realm of social media becomes more relevant to corporate strategy.
