Marketing executives help develop marketing campaigns to promote a product, service or idea. The work can be exceptionally varied Ð from sourcing and placing adverts, to producing marketing materials such as leaflets and e-newsletters, to organising events. Excellent writing and confident presentation skills are essential to work in marketing. Good people skills are also a must as networking is particularly important. So is having a creative and adaptive mind. A traditional career path leads from marketing executive to senior marketing executive, then to marketing manager, and finally to marketing director. However the marketing industry is very broad, with many companies in all different sectors requiring varying degrees of marketing expertise, so options for progression vary considerably.
