I met Marques after a friend of my mom's made the connection. He had recently moved to Miami and expressed that he was looking for some mentees. I really appreciate him for making himself available to me and he's been very helpful and reliable in my personal life. I look forward to maintaining our relationship.
He's had a dope career as a marketer, working for some of the biggest brands in the world! Follow along as we learn about how got started in the industry, his journey through companies like Reebok, Coca Cola, Miller Coors and ultimately the Miami Dolphins Football team!
