About the Episode

It’s one thing to have a team that works well together. It’s another thing to have a team that knocks it out of the park in terms of productivity, honors, and a place where people want to be. That would be the marketing and communications team at Purdue University. It’s a team that has nearly doubled in size through a university-wide 150th anniversary celebration, the COVID lockdown, and presidential transition.

Two Purdue marcom leaders, Ethan Braden and Kelly Hiller, joined “I Wanna Work There!” to talk about their journeys, building a team culture, and earning campus wide buy-in to become an award-winning operation. To learn more about Purdue’s team and work, go to.
