Skilful marketers are invaluable assets for any organisation. They are the ones that create, communicate and deliver value to customers and users, and are responsible for the perception of the brand. Brands such as Apple, Amazon, Zalando or Coca-Cola are great examples of the impact marketing has on a company’s success. The best marketing experts know exactly what their customers want and need, and they know how to spark interest in their products and services in order to gain new customers.
Contrary to popular opinion, marketing is so much more than just promotion! There are countless options for graduates within the field of marketing, both on- and offline. Some enjoy working in positions that focus on SEO or SEA, or community management, social marketing or communications. Others prefer working in events or sports marketing, product management or development, or innovation management. Whatever our students are passionate about, we at Harz University of Applied Sciences always do our very best to prepare them for a successful and fulfilled future.
