What Are <\/span>Marketing Jobs<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

In a nutshell, <\/span>marketing<\/span> is the process of attracting an audience or group of consumers to a particular company\u2019s offerings. This usually involves identifying the wants and needs of consumers, identifying how your company can be of service and what value it can provide, and communicating that value back to potential customers!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the distinction is actually pretty simple. \u2018<\/span>Marketing Jobs<\/span>\u2019 is simply a catch-all term for the vast number of roles that fall under the <\/span>marketing<\/span> umbrella. However, if we\u2019re talking <\/span>digital <\/span><\/i>marketing<\/span>, AKA the category of <\/span>marketing<\/span> that social media management falls into, there are slightly fewer roles and specialisations to memorise. Some of the key tasks of a digital <\/span>marketing<\/span> team include:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
