The following skills, however, will help you to succeed in any advertising and marketing management position:
- Communication skills

- Creativity
It will also help if you have a basic understanding of what motivates people to take specific actions, such as buying a specific product or service.
What does Marketing and Management involve?
Advertising and marketing management combines business skills with creativity to generate interest in products and services, as well as to develop brand images.
The activities involved in advertising and marketing management depend on a variety of factors, including the size of the company, the industry in which the company operates, and the nature of the products and services being marketed.
Some of the most common activities include:
Carrying out market research to identify target markets.
Segmenting target markets to deliver customised marketing messages.
Planning advertising and marketing campaigns in line with the overall company strategy.
Monitoring trends in the industry.
Building brand images.
Supervising advertising and marketing staff members, and/or liaising with other parties involved in advertising and marketing campaigns.
Reporting on research findings and outcomes of campaigns.
Modern advertising and marketing practices involve making use of websites, search engine marketing, social media marketing, and mobile apps in addition to traditional print media, radio and television marketing. As an advertising and marketing manager, you therefore need to keep up with the new developments and trends in relation to each of these platforms.
