Marketers create and run promotional campaigns in traditional media (TV, print), new media (digital, social) and onsite/in store. Creating and nurturing a brand’s image is a critical function of marketing, as is managing the sales strategy and sales force. Marketers are heavily involved in consumer research, new product and service development, pricing, distribution, competitive intelligence, public relations and more.
