Your Career

Entry level employees in the internet advertising industry are generally described as Executives or Coordinators.

For example an Advertising Agency may give you the title of Digital Media Executive and a sales company selling advertising solutions may provide a junior with the title of Sales Coordinator. Both these roles underpin the fast growing digital media or internet advertising industry.

Your career options will be limitless as this market continues to expand, envelope traditional media such as TV and Outdoor and emerging advertising channels like mobile & console-games.

Companies like Google and Yahoo! make money from advertising and there are massive career opportunities for people willing to be trained to work in this field.

After 1-2 years you could be earning between $50k and $90k. Exceptional employees are rewarded generously.
