Karl Ring is a first-year full time MBA candidate at the Paul Merage School of Business.  His focus is on Marketing and Strategy for Media and Entertainment, especially New Media.  Karl interned with the NBC.com marketing department during Spring Quarter this year, and will be working as Communications Manager at his summer internship with AT&T U-Verse.

 

Originally from Boston, Karl graduated from Boston College with a BA in English.  After college he worked in media and e-commerce before relocating to Los Angeles in 2001.  In L.A., he worked on freelance television production and experiential marketing projects for such clients as A&E, Animal Planet, TV Land, Coca-Cola, and American Express.

Karl chose Merage because of the size of the program and its opportunities to pursue leadership positions and build stronger relationships with classmates, faculty, and staff.  In addition, the opportunity to contribute more to the growth and development of the program tapped into Karl’s experiences in start-up and collaborative business environments.

Outside of class, he participates in many on campus clubs, and co-founded a new club this year, Merage Key Assets.  As the club’s Co-President, he is focused on extending the Merage social and professional networks to further involve spouses, partners, significant others, and families in activities and events.  Karl also enjoys cheering on his beloved Boston sports teams, however, he’ll still be happy to answer questions from Yankees fans.
