How to become a business marketing executive needs a little practice, some experience in how companies run and a good visionary eye for the future. Generally there are several ways to get into marketing itself. These would include a) a university course b) a college course c) an apprenticeship; d) working in situ in a proper paid work role and not just as the new junior. Applying directly; via specialist courses supplied by private training organisations who are recognised as leaders in their field. The first option is university course – there are in fact several university courses geared up for enabling the novice into the world of business marketing. A university would generally offer courses in the fields of marketing & communications; digital marketing; advertising; busines and management. Some of the universities offer degree courses acredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM). Entry requrements would be 1 or 2 A levels, or equivalent, for a foundation degree or national diploma.
Apprenticeships can sometimes be achieved via the multichannel marketer level 3 advanced apprenticeship. There are also marketing executive level 4 higher apprenticeship and digital marketer level 6 degree apprenticeship.
To work your way into marketing roles, it is a good idea to try to gain employment in the industry as an administrator or assistant. This can very often leads to roles within the marketing division.
