Advertising Sequence

Advertising Sequence

The Baylor Journalism, Public Relations &  New Media department offers a sequence in advertising.  Students who earn a degree in journalism with a specialization in advertising learn about the different aspects of a career in advertising, including creative careers such as copywriting and art direction and business careers in advertising media buying, planning and sales.

Many businesses use some type of advertising specialist to promote their products. Advertising specialists use a wide variety of marketing techniques and media, including publications, television, internet and radio. Advertising majors can find jobs that focus on sales, marketing or creative design.

Employers typically prefer a bachelor's degree in advertising and some previous sales or marketing experience (www.bls.gov). Knowing the principles and methods of sales and marketing strategies is beneficial for advertising sales agent candidates. Because advertising sales agents frequently meet with clients and potential customers, a professional and pleasant appearance is preferred among advertising employers. Updated knowledge and experience with various media platforms, including social media, is beneficial for advertising sales agents. Relevant coursework in an advertising major for those interested in a job in sales includes communication, promotional planning, account management and strategic marketing.
