Stealth Marketing Strategies

Archive for the ‘Marketing and Advertising’ Category

I’ve been graduated from college for about 2 years. I have 1 year of management experience and would like to start a career in marketing. I have a degree in retail merchandising and marketing. I can’t find any jobs and nobody will hire me because i have no marketing experience. What can i do to get my foot in the door and learn the marketing industry?

Unfortunately without experience it’s probably tough to get the job level you might want. But if you’re willing to start in more junior positions, consider looking for jobs as a sales promotions coordinator, event planner (trade shows), pricing strategist/analyst (use your retail merchandising degree to help get a job in that field – loss leader pricing, value pricing, bundle pricing are just some of the merchandising tactics used). Your experience in management should be highlighted in a way that talks about how transferable those skills are to project management or product management.  Read more...

Did you like it? Why did you choose Marketing instead of Advetising, or Advetrising instead of Marketing?
Was the degree useful in finding you a stable job that paid relatively well?
What do you like and not like about Marketing/Advertising?

I work for an advertising agency in London, and can tell you that having a degree (or the equivalent) in Marketing or Advertising is absolutely not essential. If you’re able to show a passion for advertising (through work experience, knowing the advertising marketplace) then that should be more than enough. A lot of people assume that having a qualification in either marketing or advertising will lead them easily to a job in it, whereas in reality, our company employs people with a wide range of skills. We have people with degrees in Chemistry, History, Politics and Accounting, among many others. My best advice would be to major in either, if you love doing them, but also make sure you go out and get the necessary work experience.

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira left a lot of questions unanswered in the wake of his UFC 92 loss to Frank Mir. After the fight it was revealed that he’d suffered from a staph infection during training, severe enough to land him in the hospital for five days. He insisted that the loss was entirely attributable to his illness. At UFC 102 from the Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon, Big Nog made a compelling case that his loss to Mir was a definite aberration. Nogueira dominated a determined Randy Couture over three rounds, en route to a unanimous decision victory over the UFC Hall of Famer.  Read more... (401 words, estimated 1:36 mins reading time)
