Marketing Communications

Job description / Role

Job duties vary for marketing communications managers, but typically center around the control of a few key advertising and public relations roles. Marketing communication managers must develop or refine a communications strategy, which includes the branding of a company or client.

Another common duty at this level is to identify opportunities for customer research and to implement these data gathering and targeting initiatives. After research is completed, marketing communication managers may work with product design and production teams to coordinate the refine of old products or the creation of new products.

Unlike lower-level marketing and communications professionals, managers often spend much of their time working directly with clients, helping to determine their goals. They then help lower-level marketing professionals to bring these goals to life.
