Question: Marketing Director Job for theater company? I have a group project and need to know what he does.

Answer: Marketing director will be in charge of organizing the marketing message about the production. I'm guessing theater is not cinema. So the marketing director would be in charge of design of posters (in some cases), advertising message (what are they trying to tell people about the production), places of advertising (billboards, art journals, newspaper, sky writing, placing footprints on the sidewalk to the front door, ect..), and budgeting. Hope this helps

Question: i am looking for a part time student job that can lead me to a becoming a marketing director in the future...? what kind of job can I work now that I can work up in and possibly lead to something related. If I do marketing, I want to promote products and advertising.

Answer: Hi there, I think your best direction is retail. Retail positions offer a ground-up spectrum of experience, and you get to see your target marketing in buying mode. Also, as a student you'll want something with flexible hours, which a retail job is perfect for. Managers are used to students needing to work around their school schedules. The most important thing to consider is what kind of industry you'd like to work in. Certain companies (Starbucks, American Apparel) are known for being progressive and breaking new ground. Other companies (Wal-mart, grocery stores) are not. You'll probably want to work somewhere a little more cutting edge, as that will give you the experience you're probably looking for as a future marketing professional. Nobody ever wanted to get into marketing so they could sell plumbing parts or weed whackers. Good luck in your marketing career! Naomi Dunford Itty Bitty Marketing

I am a management consultant appointed by a company to support steering group that has been set to over see an e-commerce website.the group consist of : marketing director-a representative of sales Administration staff-a technical supervisor from the IT Department

Answer: Marketing directors oversee a company's marketing strategy. For the most part marketing directors concern themselves with market segments, which are large groups of consumers defined by income, ethnicity, age, or a number of other factors. Ultimately marketing directors want to know which market segments will buy their company's products and how best to sell those products to their target market. The duties of a marketing director vary considerably from company to company. Some marketing directors limit themselves to analyzing the market potential and profitability of various products and to developing strategies to achieve the greatest number of sales of those products in the market.

Some analyze the market potential and profitability of products, whereas others implement sales strategies or are responsible for the overall sales and profit performance. Marketing directors determine the probability and the cost of gaining a certain share of the market. They develop strategies that will counter their competitors' advertising approach and gain their company a larger share of the market at the expense of the competition. Marketing directors study sales figures closely to keep track of how their company's products are selling. Sometimes marketing directors supervise market research. They use the research data to determine what customers do and do not like about certain products and what improvements and new products consumers want to see in stores. Marketing research may be done by outside research firms or by an inside staff. Regardless of who performs the research, it is usually up to the marketing director to make the final interpretations of the data. Based on what the research reveals, the director must recommend and implement a marketing strategy that is within the budget, resources, and capabilities of the company.
