    What industries are you guys interested in doing marketing in? I lowkey wish I started in fashion but the pay in tech was too good to pass up lol

      Yes!! Fashion is so cool You can do marketing for luxury brands like Chanel 🤯 Tech does pay so well tho 😭I love how with business you can work for any kind of company

      Thank you for making this video! I’ve been waiting for this. I want to work in marketing for a retail corporate office. Do you know much about marketing coordinator? Also do you know how people get promoted to become a marketing manager? Do they have to go to grad school? Also do you usually work in teams or do you often feel like you do projects by yourself?

    • @LynetteAdkins
      @LynetteAdkins  3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Lia Lana A lot of times a marketing coordinator role is an entry level position that will have you doing campaign support for marketing managers. I actually started as a marketing coordinator at my company and in a few months was ‘promoted’ to do field marketing. You definitely don’t need to go to grad school to do field marketing, just work for a few years from an entry level role to work your way up!

      Lynette Adkins Hi 🙂 I don’t know if you already covered this but it might be a good future video idea. Since a lot of marketing degrees don’t prepare one for actual marketing jobs can you recommend a degree that would be better or skills which would be useful to pick up? My school offers an information management degree (part of business school) and I was thinking that might prepare me to be a better marketer since it teaches more tech/computer science skills (such as analytics and programming). What do you think? Also I know LinkedIn offers some classes so I was planning on taking videos on SEO.

    This is such an incredibly helpful video! I am only 17 and have been accepted into University of AZ with aspirations of starting my own business while in college, and I plan to major in marketing. I now know to get experience early and to make myself stand out in the competition. I'm so grateful for your guidance! I was wondering if you can tell me if minoring in something like conservation would help me out, or what minors to consider?

    Hello Ms. Lynette Adkins, thank you for the video. I have a degree with Marketing but never really got the opportunity with internships or a job opportunity. I’m older now 34 years old but don’t have any experience in the field but would like to try and get an entry level position. I always wanted to be in the field of sports marketing but never really knew how to go about it. Tech is definitely the wave but not sure how to even start that journey. I know age plays a huge part with opportunity but I still want to take a chance. Product marketing would be something I really would like and also be interested in digital marketing

    The only reason I got in to marketing was because I wanted to get people attention to my store and after selling on ebay and other stores some 2007 they put my store at the bottom where people will not know about you so I got tired and found out about marketing and doing it for 3 years now I am starting to find my self doing it in y free time or ways to make it better. And pretty much got courses from Ty Lopez And other marketers also books and I’m starting to take pieces from each one to build my own blueprint

  • @riannanoel5746

    I'm thinking about switching my major to marketing. I work on the social media team for my sorority and I really enjoy putting together posts, story posts, new campaigns for our social media, and working with things like graphic design, photoshop, photography, and video editing. I would love to work in retail for fashion companies, possibly in digital marketing, but I am not sure if a Marketing BBA or an Advertising BA would be the right move for me? I definitely feel like having a BBA looks better than a BA, but I'm not sure what would be best or if one would make me more money than the other? What do you recommend?

    • @LynetteAdkins
      @LynetteAdkins  3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I recommend the advertising route if you enjoy more of the creative and marketing if you are business minded! Design/video editing skills can definitely help in a digital marketing role, there's just also other things to think about like SEO, digital systems (like splashthat, etc) that you'll also be doing as well. I say look for internships in both areas and see what interests you the most!

    • @LynetteAdkins
      @LynetteAdkins  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I say try to get internships in the fields your interested in while your in college. Also, you don't have to stick with just one thing - it may be good to get a degree in design as a whole or engineering so you can try different career paths once you graduate!

    Did you have to cold call? I actually prefer b2b I worked as an account executive but I was cold calling and I hated it. That was terrible coming from a huge well intl known company. So do you sell? Or do you create relationships?
    Also are you given a book of business ? Or you’re expected to create your own I was in Nyc. Making only $50 k I was 28 and it was stressful I need to meet revenue goals with no assistance . It was like I was thrown out to make business and create meetings via the phone. Then schedule client meetings with NO assistance . Just cold call email etc until they give in .
    Please share your thoughts .
    I thought startsups are terrible to work with and they don’t teach you . You have to learn all on your own ?
