Seeking Advice For Begining A Career In Branding

Posted by Anonymous on 1/13/2005 at 2:15 AM ET 250 Points
Hello all,

My name is Matt and I am just graduating from a post grad program in marketing that specializes in Database marketing, Data Analysis and a host of other subjects. This is a college program that is offered in Toronto Canada. Soon I will be looking for an iternship and have a few promising leads in Coca Cola Canada and a few other companies. I want to get into Brand management in some capacity. I have found my program focuses way too much on technical processes like Data Analysis and quantative research methods. I am not sure if this is giving me the needed background for brand managment. We have covered some branding analysis but I am not sure it has gone into enough detail. Being a college program some say an MBA is needed. I have a universtiy background and can easily do that however I would rather not. If anyone can give advice for someone coming out of school and looking to land that first job please let me know. If anyone knows of a good place to start acquiring the needed skills please let me know.

Thanks.
Matt

    Hi Matt and welcome.

    Whilst you are looking to get into Branding, I would suggest that if you know anything about the subject you hang around here, become an expert in answering branding questions and raise your profile.

    You only need to score 750 points to get into the Top 25 in Branding here, and will look great to potential employers.

    Good Luck

    Hi my name is Martin, I recently graduated in Multimedia Design. I`m interested in getting a MBA in Branding, the problem is that I haven`t been able to find a College that offers that program. If you could recommend some good schools I would really appreciate it
