Outlook As technology continues to advance and the field of marketing skews further toward Internet and new media trends, gaining an education in these areas grows more and more valuable. According to a 2013 report by US News and World Report, knowledge of Search Engine Marketing (SEM), Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and social media are among the top skills that employers are currently seeking in potential candidates. Indeed.com research also indicates that four out of the ten top job trends in America are directly related to internet marketing, resulting in increased openings and overall higher wages.
Communicate success Top communicators get the top rankings! Public relations specialists, marketing researchers, art directors, and marketing managers all placed among the top 100 best careers in a 2013 ranking by U.S. News & World Report. And although communication, public relations, and media jobs tend to be in larger, metropolitan areas, there is a trend that clearly shows a dispersal of job openings across the nation. Whether you're looking to enter creative services, mediation, media, training and development, or another communication field, the key is to prove ingenuity, resilience, and communication savvy.
Stay ahead of the curve! New media, new technology, and new global opportunities are all the rage within the communication industry, as employers seek industrious professionals who have innovative skills and can bring something new and dynamic to the table. By next year, total marketing spend will have shifted drastically: interactive online marketing will reach $55 billion and search marketing will grow 15% per year to reach $32 billion. Those with an innate ability to generate creative solutions, think innovatively, and market themselves will likely excel within the organizational and professional communication field.
