Testimonials & Reviews of the MSc Arts & Creative Industries Management Programme
A network of alumni to help you find the jobs that make you dream
Marwan joined the programme as he wanted to work in industries he was passionate about: music and film. After several internships in the film industry (Fox Pathé Europa, Warner Bros, Paramount Pictures), he joined Vice Media in various marketing roles before joining Netflix in 2021.
"One of the advantages of the programme is the access to a vast network of alumni working in the professions that make you dream as a student. I was able to start an internship at 20th Century Fox thanks to a student a year older who had just come out of the internship and recommended me. Today I'm a marketing manager at Netflix. If I had to do it all over again, I would."
An immersive learning that opens up to other sectors
Morys was always interested in fashion, what we choose to wear, why and how, and what it says about us. His first experience was in the world of fashion e-commerce at Zalando, where he discovered the world of advertising and life in a company that is deeply focused on digital. Since May 2022, he has joined Nike in Amsterdam in their sneaker unit as brand manager. He is responsible for the launch campaigns for their limited edition footwear, which is aimed at a target group of connoisseurs of the world of trainers.
"The MSc Arts & Creative Industries Management is a unique experience with an immersive pedagogy that opened me up to a whole host of disciplines to which I would not otherwise have had access to, and which helps me to this day to understand how the taste industries are intimately linked to our human experience. KEDGE Arts School is full of enriching and surprising encounters.
An international outlook
A graduate in interior architecture and design, Arthur joined the MSc Arts & Creative Industries Management with the aim of acquiring managerial skills and getting closer to a sector he loves: luxury. He developed a particular interest in the scenography of shops, especially shop windows. After an end-of-studies placement with Van Cleef & Arpels as assistant store design project manager, he joined a consultancy firm specialising in managing architecture and design projects for luxury houses. He is now working on his first assignment for Galeries Lafayette in the technical department.
"The Master's degree is a comprehensive programme in terms of both management and artistic aspects. My training at KEDGE gave me a managerial mindset that I didn't have when I studied architecture. But above all, it's a programme that opens our minds to all forms of creativity. As it's an international programme, there were a lot of students from different backgrounds, which was extremely enriching, because depending on the culture, artistic points of view can differ, and we learn a lot more."
Empowering managers respectful of creative processes and artists
After completing two internships in the animation film industry and working part-time at a film production studio alongside his Master's degree, Eloi embarked on two brand manager assistant internships in the video game industry at Amplitude Studios (SEGA) and Ubisoft.
"I firmly believe in the role that creative industries should play in our daily lives. Arts and culture are central to shaping individuals and fostering social connections. The gaming and film sectors, in particular, possess narratives capable of leaving a lasting impact on individuals, challenging them, accompanying them, and entertaining them. Supporting the creation and dissemination of these narratives is the role I aspire to have in my professional career.
The entire educational team strives to educate culture managers who respect the creative process and are ready to provide optimal support to artists in their work. The MSc programme provides a comprehensive overview of the creative industries and their challenges. Thanks to the insights shared by numerous professionals and artists, the programme offers exceptional professional development opportunities."
Dual Competence: Management and Specialisation in the Cultural Sector
Originally from Nantes, Côme, a dreamer with an eccentric spirit, works in the Innovation/R&D department at Groupe TF1, where he is responsible for research. His role involves studying emerging technologies and determining whether they can contribute to the evolution of various activities within the Group, whether in the short, medium, or long term.
"The Master's programme completely transformed my experience at KEDGE. I met students with incredible backgrounds and talents, some of whom have become close friends. I had the opportunity to meet inspiring individuals, benefit from an extraordinary alumni network, and graduate with a unique profile in the job market (combining management education and creative industries)."
Working across all Creative Industries
Driven by French craftsmanship, Perrine initially gained experience through internships in the luxury and fashion sectors as an Assistant Product Manager in marketing roles at both small and large companies, including Louis Vuitton and Maison Margiela. After five years at the French jewellery house JEM (Jewellery Ethically Minded), she joined Van Cleef & Arpels as a Senior Product Manager.
"KEDGE Arts School offers the significant advantage of exposing us to various industries, ensuring that we don't limit ourselves to a single domain and fostering genuine curiosity about other sectors covered in the programme. Today, my peers from the programme work in diverse fields (including music, independent labels, major labels, film production and fashion.)
International Sales Manager - Living to the Beat of "Film Markets"
When Thomas joined the Master's programme, he had a strong passion for music, cinema, and sports. However, he made the decision to pursue a career at Pathé Films. In his role, he is responsible for selling international distribution rights for films produced by Pathé. This involves participating in "film markets," where buyers and sellers from all over the world gather, often in conjunction with prestigious festivals like Cannes, Berlin, and Toronto. The commercial strategy is centered around these events. Each new film can be sold at different stages of its production, ranging from the script to the promotion or completion of the film. These films are then distributed through various media channels, including cinema, television, and video-on-demand platforms.
Creativity and Underground Cultures
Passionate about alternative artistic movements and underground music, Lily pursued various opportunities with independent labels such as PIAS and Because Music. She further extended her music industry experience in cultural sponsorship as a cultural patronage officer at Pernod Ricard France before joining We Love Art. As a Social Media Manager, she oversees the digital communication strategy, with the ultimate goal of fostering loyalty and expanding the number of festival-goers.
"The Master's programme is a journey that promotes diversity in both teachings and student backgrounds, emphasizing creativity and uniqueness. Personally, I had the opportunity to work on a research thesis on the French underground electronic music market and its consumers. The alumni network is incredibly valuable, serving as a springboard to enter the music industry."
Valuing Unique Cultural Products
After completing several internships in various museums (Musée du Louvre, Cap Sciences, Musée d'Aquitaine), Charlène joined the Musée des impressionnismes Giverny in 2018. Starting as a corporate sponsorship and business relations officer, she became the Deputy Communication and Marketing Manager in 2022.
"The Master's programme provides a strategic and comprehensive understanding of cultural enterprises. We explore various aspects, including funding and marketing for these companies or institutions. Graduates can apply for a wide range of positions (audience development, administration, communication) upon completion. There is a unique aspect to these industries—we value distinctive cultural products. The thesis stage is also highly stimulating, as it allows us to delve deep into a subject we are passionate about and that we can showcase to our peers in the future."
