Matthew Fowler

Hi, My name is Matthew Fowler and I am a recent marketing graduate looking for the perfect company to start my career.

I am a recent Summa Cum Laude graduate of Central Michigan University and as a Marketing major concentrating in Communications and minoring in Advertising I have developed a love for digital marketing. I am eager and excited to start my marketing career so that I can learn more about this exciting movement in marketing. I hope to apply all that I have learned in both the classroom and my two prior internships as I grow as a marketer.
