Transcript

You're looking to get into marketing or advertising, but you have absolutely no marketing or advertising experience, this is what I recommend you do. For some background, my name is Sophie. I work full time at a big six advertising agency, and I also run my own marketing agency. So this is what I really recommend you do. I don't hear enough people talking about online certifications. I am a paid social manager and I still have to take online certifications for my job, but they're available to everyone and anyone and they're free or the majority of them are free. If you're looking to get on the social side of things, I highly recommend any courses offered by Meta with social media marketing or social media advertising. Once you get familiar with Meta's bad manager, you can get familiar with any other ads manager super easily. So Snapchat ads, Pinterest ads, TikTok ads, they're all built the pretty tier same way, honestly. This is another good one offered by Better on Coursera. Google also has a wide range of free certificates you can get. So if you're looking to go into more of like the search realm of marketing, you could easily do some search certifications like Google Bad, Google Analytics, truly anything of the sort. That is my biggest tip. If you wanna get into marketing with no experience, start with online certifications and see what you like.
