Typical marketing careers

When it comes to typical marketing careers, marketing graduates are well positioned to start work as a marketing intern in a small or large advertising agency, or in the marketing department of a business or other organization. From there, marketing positions available include assistant, consultant, coordinator, executive, director, manager, planner, specialist, all the way up to Chief Marketing Officer (CMO).

You’ll be able to apply your marketing knowledge and skills, and get to see all the marketing principles you learnt during your marketing degree come to life. Expect a nine-to-five schedule with long hours nearer to deadlines/during big projects, lots of team work, and some travel locally and abroad for networking, customer research and meeting clients.

Marketing careers also include roles in advertising, brand management, digital marketing, e-mail marketing, international marketing, e-marketing, mobile marketing, print advertising, and social media marketing. Looking at the four ‘P’s of marketing, price may be determined by the marketing manager; place by a distribution or merchandising manager; promotion by a marketing communications or promotions director; and product by a merchandise, brand or product manager.

Roles in marketing copywriting involve using language to sell a product or service, while knowledge of HTML or other web-based language will help with online marketing content creation. Product management and development are also key roles in the marketing team, along with market research analysts to survey the consumer, and customer service roles for communicating with them.

Media officers and public relations roles help announce your marketing campaign and introduce the company, its brand and its clients to the public while an account executive, manager or representative helps manage client relations. Meanwhile, a manufacturing and production manager oversees product development and can be a good source of marketing information, while a sales manager helps execute marketing initiatives already planned out by the marketing team.
