Marketing Manager careers

Marketing Managers develop an organisation’s advertising and marketing strategies. They identify market opportunities for their company’s products and services — and usually manage a small team of copywriters, graphic designers, assistants and social media co-ordinators.

As a Marketing Manager you might be researching customer demographics and consumer behaviour, submitting a marketing plan to the executive team, overseeing the design of ads and brochures, or approving the copy on the company website and Facebook page.
