We follow another very different journey into events this week, when Jack and Ellan are joined by Martin Fullard, Editor of Conference News magazine and Editorial Director of Mash Media.
Martin started out in life wanting to be a racing driver and followed his dream to some degree in the motorsport industry, which saw him enjoying his early career having lots of fun in the U.A.E.. But his interest in journalism took him in a different direction, from writing freelance race reports to covering breaking news for Gulf News, the biggest English-speaking media in the Middle East. Or, as he likes to call it, “serious journalism”.
Returning to the UK after starting a family, Martin accepted a role with Mash Media, officially entering the world of events, although he soon realised that this wasn’t entirely new to him and “people work in the events industry without even realising it”.
Hear about his exciting journey, from his favourite event – “an insane experience” – to his current role where he demonstrates that this industry has no barriers to entry and there is no limit to what you can achieve.
