Hello there,

Im a 26 yo guy who's thinking emerging on world of marketing digital, i took a few courses to get a few ideas what marketing digital is about but now i need to take some feedback from some professional people in the área.
I get a multimedia graduation however, it does not say me so much as marketing does. I allways liked themes about psychology and marketing, and for give some sequence on my graduation i saw marketing digital as a good option for me.
For me , marketing digitial is all about to use strategic ways to promote a company/business ona digital way, like social media, website whatever. I have the vision that can be really exciting work on that area because allways have new challengs and beacause that dont gets boring, allways working on something different. Im true about it?
Recently i took a course about Google AdWords , and now im thinking on take one about SEO cause i already wrote that are some diferences between them.
Im a proactive guy, who likes to learn new things and become kinda expert on them. Im even ambicious on my carrer, so im trying to get a new way for my professional future.

So im here to understand and get some feedback on professional people working / worked on that area, if like me we can work on it based on knowledge in the area and being proactive, cause i saw many companys search for people graduated on marketing area, and in therms of salary in europe if really worths the job and effort done.

Thanks guys,
André

    Welcome to the world of DM. Have worked in the industry for the last 10 years I can give you my experience.

    However, what is your method of attack? Are you thinking you want to do your own thing, work for an agency, large corporate company or what? I ask because your experience will differ depending on what you are doing. I have done all three and I can say that they are all have benefits and disadvantages.

    You need some knowledge if you are working for any of these. I would study up and get familiar with SEO, PPC, Content Marketing, Social Advertising/Optimization, etc. These are the things most of these companies are going to look for. If you do not have some of these basic skills you are not going to get very far in applying for jobs.

    The benefits of working for a large company is you may have some more freedom to try things out and see what sticks. For an agency you are at the beckon call for your clients. You may have some who have a huge budget for marketing and some who are working with only a little bit. This gets tricky and you are at their mercy. If you have a good agency who vets their clients you may have better luck and not have to deal with a bunch of little problematic clients. Just my two cents.

    Now if you are doing your own thing you may have to take whatever comes your way for a little bit of time. This is a completely different ball game as you can imagine.

    Anyway, I hope this helps but you for sure need to be able to talk intelligently about marketing in order to have anyone take you serious. Just study and get some basics down and make sure you actually know how to do some marketing and the more you do it the better you will become over time.

    All the best and welcome to the digital family!

    Hello gr8bambino86,

    First of all thanks for your attention and feedback

    As i get a Adwords course, ill take one about SEO to take more knowledge and have a different view on advertising products

    In therms of future, im really undicised about what kind of your exemples can choose, however i guess some kind of intership could be a great way to start an area that for me is in general so unknown at moment.

    Best regards!
