Marketing

Marketers help the firm discover and utilize new technological and market opportunities. Their motivation is to create strong brands and loyal customers in the ever-shifting competitive landscape. This is possible through the efforts of marketers to identify the customers with needs the firm is best positioned to meet. Marketers ensure the firm is offering customers well-designed products and services at just the right price, and makes the products available through the right distribution channels, while promoting product offerings through innovative, informative, and persuasive communications. Career opportunities in marketing exist in every industry, no matter the type and size of business.
