Building Blocks To Being A Marketing Director

Throughout my college journey during my Bachelor's program I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do. I wasn't sure where I would fit in as far as the Entertainment Business. I've decided to pursue a career in Marketing. I want to help or be in charge of creating a brand or image for the company or artist. It's vital how the company or artist is marketed. This type of career requires a creative mind and I would like to use it for this purpose. I would need to start off as a marketing assistant and then work my way up. As an assistant I would handle social media matters such as posting blogs, videos, images on via Twitter, Facebook, etc. There's also administrative work included as an assistant. A marketing manager/director  has to be efficient at proposals and presentations. I can see right now that I would need to learn how to get more comfortable with speaking in public. They basically implement marketing plans that will lead to paying conversations for the artist,brand or company. I believe that I chose this career because I want to be the "brains" of the operation. This position is one of the most that are important and it is very demanding. I know in order to be successful at this position, I'll need to make a few changes. I'm just referring to things that will build my experience so I can qualify for this type of career.
