Yes, It’s Really Marketing Work
If you’re currently looking for a marketing job as a recent graduate or someone new to the field, likely almost everything you’re seeing is sales – no matter where in the U.S. you look, let alone the Wheeling – Pittsburgh area. Sales are vital to a company, but it’s a different beast and not marketing work. As you’ve likely encountered, it’s extremely difficult to get actual marketing work without major previous marketing experience.
Our current opening is a rare opportunity to get hired for a marketing role and work in paid search, SEO, and social media without necessarily having experience with these tactics already (although experience is helpful).
