Imagine video conferencing from a yurt in Mongolia. Or sipping mate <\/i>as you check your work emails in Argentina. Combining travel with work or study is not only increasingly possible thanks to globalisation and the internet, but it\u2019s actually a great career move.<\/p>\n

A number of research studies<\/a> have shown that international experience leads to increased creativity, problem-solving and entrepreneurial skills \u2013 all attributes highly valued in the workplace. It\u2019s not so surprising then to discover that international experience also translates into increased employment opportunities.<\/p>\n

Curtin alumnus, Marketing Strategy Consultant and self-declared \u201cimpromptu traveller, bitten by wanderlust\u201d, Peeush Tomar, is a strong advocate of gaining international experience. To date, he has worked and studied his way through New Zealand, Singapore, Bangkok, Indonesia, South Africa and Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing I was always sure of was being free-spirited for life,\u201d he asserts. \u201cI wanted a profession or pursuit that would give me an opportunity to connect with many people and to travel across countries and cultures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instinctively drawn to marketing as a career, Peeush says he gets great delight from working with brands, from perfecting the right tone and attitude, to delivery on the brand\u2019s promise, almost a storyteller approach. And, he says his interest in travel has only served to enrich his career, creating diverse exposures.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile travelling for work, I learnt from best practices in each zone or country, assertively taking back the success stories of marketing in one region to others, to create distinctive advantages further,\u201d he explains. \u201cThis approach also brought a deep understanding of cultures, mannerisms and ways of managing business, bringing the right balance of empathy to professional relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2006, Peeush deliberated the opportunity to study his MBA in Australia, enthusiastically supported by his then employer. After much contemplation about which university to study at, he decided on Curtin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe choice of Curtin was based on my thorough research around rankings, taking cues from alumni about the environment and the rich course content,\u201d he recalls. \u201cAnd I must say, I made a damn good choice. Studying at Curtin was a fantastic experience in terms of not only getting exposed to a great course and capable faculty, but also the subject matter being globally relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to exploring the west coast of Australia, hanging out at the beach and eating Fremantle\u2019s famous fish and chips, studying at Curtin also broadened horizons in his career.<\/p>\n

For the past four years, Peeush has been heading up Marketing and Strategic Alliances for PVR Group, which involves diverse portfolio management right from brand building strategies to positioning and innovation. He also guest lectures at universities around India and recently launched his own marketing consultancy, Brands Invincible. He also is actively heading Strategy and Business Development for an integrated Marketing and Communications company, Nikulsan Global.<\/p>\n

A \u201clive-in-the-moment\u201d person, his other creative passions include penning travelogues, poetry and blogs.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, my passion and an eye for detail, when constructing and sustaining a brand, has won me a lot of recognition and recommendations,\u201d Peeush says. \u201cPeople treat me as a thorough brand personality and that assures me of having chosen the right path in life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
