My career goal is to become a Director of Marketing and Public Relations. This job involves aspects from both the areas of Marketing and Mass Communications. A Director of Marketing is someone who plans programs and advertisements to generate interest in a product or service. However, a Director of PR involves working with a variety of people in customer service and involves dealing with the media. With this being said, a Director of Marketing and Public Relations encompasses of all these skills. In this role, one has to research the product or service they are marketing and analyze their findings. They also have to be able to stay on top of trends to determine whether or not their product or service is out of style. Some of the promotional activities marketers use to promote their product or service is through the use of advertising, both digitally, like social media, and traditionally, like newspapers and billboards. Now, leaning more towards the public relations side of this position, this career requires being social, being able to write fluently, and being able to speak professionally to a large crowd. My plan after High School is to attend the University of Georgia and major in Marketing and minor in Communication Studies. While I am in school, I hope to be involved with internship opportunities either at the university itself or at a local marketing or public relations firm.
