President of Marketing for NBC Entertainment Visits Marketing Students at Saint Peter’s

On March 31, marketing students at Saint Peter’s had the privilege of hearing from guest speaker Len Fogge ’73, president of marketing for NBC Entertainment. Mr. Fogge discussed the importance of branding and digital marketing in the media industry and sparked insightful questions from the students, many of whom plan to pursue careers in marketing and communications.

Nina D’Ambrosio ’18, a student with a double major in marketing and communication, is Mr. Fogge’s niece, and she introduced her professor, Mary Kate Naatus, to her uncle and helped facilitate the guest lecture. Nina says that her uncle, Len Fogge, has been an inspiration to her, and that “in addition to being a loving and devoted patriarch to my family, his constant encouragement is what keeps me focused on being the best that I can be. He once gave me the advice to ‘find someone whose life I admire and want for myself, and figure out how they got there.’ Of course his success was something that I idolized, so my career decision was an easy one. I needed to have a major in marketing. Seeing his drive and passion in this field was extremely influential and I knew that with hard work and dedication there was nothing in this world that I couldn’t accomplish.”
