Mitchell was thankful for the opportunity: “It really opened my eyes to marketing and public relations, and how Allied uses so many different avenues to market its clients. While I learned a lot about how marketing works, the biggest thing I learned while working at Allied is how meaningful relationships are in the business world.” “Malden Catholic students are not only learning about future career possibilities, but also having the opportunity to experience firsthand how classroom learning relates to the various professional industries,” said MC Senior Director of InstiShown above are the Founder of Allied Marketing and Boston Culinary Group Mr. Joseph O’Donnell ’62, MC senior Jeremy Mitchell of Revere and MC Principal Brother Thomas Puccio.
