Celebrating next generation of marketers at SLIM Graduation Ceremony 2021

The Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing recently held its Graduation Ceremony on the 13th of December 2021 at the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH) in Colombo.

This ceremony recognised the efforts of students who had successfully completed the Postgraduate Diploma in Marketing (PGDIP), the Diploma in Strategic Brand Management (DSBM), the National Diploma in Sales Management (NDSM), the Diploma in Digital Marketing (DDM), the MBA in Marketing and those who achieved the status of Certified Professional Marketer (CPM).

The graduation addressee for the morning session of the SLIM Graduation Ceremony, Lalith Seneviratne, the Group Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of the Sri Lanka Telecom Group stated, “It is pertinent that we reflect on what they can look forward to in this unique ‘new normal’ period of pandemic times. Unlike their predecessors, today’s graduating class has studied almost entirely online, using what was once considered ‘futuristic’ tools in day-to-day work. It is apt since the focus and drive of their marketing work in real-time will be mostly in the digital arena. Today’s graduates will be required to contribute to the national digital drive, bringing digitally enabled products and services to a digitally aware audience. It is an exciting and largely unexplored frontier, and I look forward to seeing you making waves in the future.”
