What entry-level positions in this field might an undergraduate college student consider?
It's a great question. There are a lot of internships and positions called marketing coordinator or marketing specialist. I think what helped me when I was in undergrad and looking to go into marketing was really saying yes to as many things as I could.
I had a direction of where I wanted to go, which was sort of broad brand marketing. Versus now, where someone might be more into influencers and could try to work for an influencer agency. There are a bunch of different paths now, I would say.
But for me, it was really helpful to just keep throwing myself into things so I could learn about what I like and don't like. There are tons of entry-level positions. I think really the challenge is, which one do you want to do, and which one are you going to be stoked about?
