How Can I Teach Myself Marketing?
I'm a 16 year old junior in high school and am really fascinated by the business world- particularly the marketing and advertising aspects. I want to teach myself the basics of marketing and the techniques required to run a marketing or advertising firm, like how to perform market research, effective media buying, etc. I know that the best way to learn is through real world experience, and I have convinced my dad to let me work for his restaurant in some sort of marketing capacity. I hope to eventually gain the skills necessary to open my own marketing firm, hopefully before college but I'm obviously not anywhere near that stage yet. I bought and read The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing, and am currently reading Guerrilla Advertising. Any guidance would be great, thanks in advance.
