history of markonmag
OUR BEGINNINGS
Derived from “Marketing” and “Konnect”, it started with a question by some seniors earlier in Jan 2020, “What should I have told Undergraduate Me back then?”
Built by alumni Nicole Ng and Daniel Lee who wanted to give back to future batches, markonmag makes marketing knowledge accessible, relatable, and easy to understand.
