Marketing Assistant Responsibilities
A Marketing Assistant job tends to be an entry-level role, primarily to support the marketing function of an organisation with important but junior tasks. These may include elements of campaign administration, a compilation of results, helping to put together presentations and being part of marketing meetings either internally or with suppliers.
The right person will have a real interest in marketing, the results and impact that campaigns have and be a great communicator. Being diligent in both written and numerical skills will be important for the different aspects of this position. When recruiting, a focus on skills such a commercial ability, problem solving, time management and good communication will be important to identify the right candidate.
Training is very important for these employees; it will determine how quickly they can climb the career ladder or have an impact on the organisation. They will normally report into a Marketing Executive or Marketing Manager and support them on the more important campaign elements. Salaries are low and at entry level and these roles are normally offered to graduates with a degree in business, marketing, IT or similar being a popular avenue via university. A marketing assistant will usually progress to a Marketing Executive role within 12 to 24 months, taking on more responsibility and making decisions based on marketing activity.
