Marketing and public relations (PR) are attractive careers to a large number of graduates, despite the relatively small number of graduate jobs available.
Marketing is the link between a product or service and the consumer. It is all about finding out what the consumer wants and how to provide something desirable.
Public Relations (PR) is about promoting products or services to the public. Working in PR can either be done in a consultancy (working on behalf of a number of clients), or graduates can work in-house, which means they will be dealing only with the organisation’s PR.
Some of the graduate careers available in this sector:
Marketing manager I Public relations officer I Advertising manager I Brand manager I Lobbyist
