Working with CyberBridge Marketing was an incredibly valuable and professional experience. The expectations were clearly communicated from the beginning of the project, and the team provided supportive guidance while still encouraging independent thinking and ownership of the deliverables. I appreciated how the company truly values strategic thinking and aligns the project objectives with real business goals. This wasn’t just a theoretical exercise—I had the opportunity to analyze real cybersecurity conferences, consider ROI, and propose recommendations that could directly influence the company’s 2025 event strategy. CyberBridge also made an effort to integrate me into the context of their mission, making it easy to understand how my work fit into the broader business strategy. The collaboration helped me grow my understanding of how marketing intersects with the cybersecurity industry, especially for MSSPs and small service providers. It also enhanced my skills in stakeholder analysis, budgeting, and professional communication — all while working with a responsive and thoughtful team. I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to CyberBridge Marketing’s growth strategy, and I would recommend them as a host company to other Level UP participants looking to gain real-world experience in both cybersecurity and marketing strategy.
