AHi,If you can't handle stress become a teacher!As a MD you are CONSTANTLY MEASURED!Here is an example. "JM, can you please explain why we have two new products, that your team suggested, and what progress has been made in achieving the 10% market share you promised in your initial product proposal. Also explain how your advertising campaign is contributing to reaching that goal".That would be an EASY SESSION and you had better be prepared to ANSWER COMPLETELY or lick your wounds under your desk in a dark office. Your research has to be as much internal as external so that you can ANTICIPATE the QUESTIONS and be PREPARED!!!Here is a true story. I was SMM at a small division of a $500M company in the 70's. We actually made things then, engineering was in the same building and technology was expanding.I was charged with coming up with a new product that would get the division on the map. I have a partial EE, but NEVER owned a plastic pocket protector. I also had a PREMIER engineering group and I could talk their talk.The product was READY and the print media was done. We used an outside agency and the guy looked like Jesus. We had our creative focus groups in his office hot tub with wine and joints. HAH, I would have been FIRED if the company knew, but the ads GOT ATTENTION and the product TOOK OFF like a rocket.We were KICKING our major competitors DONKEY and they were NOT HAPPY. I had engineering resourses that put rockets in the air and they had about 4 guys in nasty sweaters. They also had the financial backing of a HUGE guy so they just bought the division.I was FRIENDS with the MD of our competitor, you could do that then without getting busted by the SEC.He was a QUALITY guy and there wasn't room for two of us; he fired me over drinks and dinner and we remained friends for 20 years.The point of the story is that you can do TOO GOOD of a JOB.If you read people well, can build a LOYAL TEAM, can accept a MEASURABLE challange and can THINK AHEAD of the market, GO FOR IT!!!It really is GREAT FUN and nice compensation as a package.I was also married to a teacher for over 20 years and coached hs soccer for 20 years.The PARENTS are the PROBLEM and you have to be PC 28/7. The accountability is also considerably less along with the compensation. VERY REWARDING THOUGH!!!I was asked SEVERAL times to join the hs as a teacher and they said that they would create a class for me so that I could be the on campus coach.I declined because there are just TOO MANY RULES and STRUCTURE that I felt limited my creative contribution.I am currently the SM at an electronics distributor, retail / industrial and report to the pres. He is 20 years my junior and part of my job is to tell him when he is "FULL of IT". I walk a THIN line but I LOVE the challenge of "spinning" it so it doesn't ANGER him.I hope that this helps and GOOD LUCK,Jacques

ANo. A Marketing Director oversees Marketing activities and a Marketing Manager carries out the direction of the Marketing Director. A good Marketing Manager normally aspires to become a Director.

AFirst clue: Were the clinicians who developed the program in any way schooled or experienced in marketing?Basically, marketing fails for 5 reasons: 1) Wrong message - A poor promotion in the right media can cause the right prospects to whiz right by. Ignore the ageless "Tenets of a good ad" at your peril. Any creative in the business will produce his or her best work when a target is identified, profiled and understood. That includes a clear objective or goal for what an ad will achieve.2) In the wrong place - Prospects didn't see the promotions when and where they were looking. Media choices abound. And their roles, putting it mildly, are in extraordinary flux. A poor ad in the right place wins over the best ad in the wrong media. If more than the boss' hunch has verified a good media decision, check ad position on the screen (or print page), and issue timing (did run on xmas day?).3) Customers don't need it - today - Odds are stacked against a one hit ad wonder. You've got bigger problems if buyers are not responding to clear problem/solution positioning or benefits statements in the right medium. promotions need to run more than once. Every potential customer is not reading every publication every issue. It's easy for buyers to miss banners when focused on a content search.4) You had them but lost them, aka poor conversion processing & tracking - How do you know your promotions didn't work? Have there been any follow-up studies? Ads that don't deliver on their promises, or fulfill basic information requests cause inquirers to drop out early from sales processing funnel. 5) Mismatched expectations - Marketing may be pleased as punch with sheer volumes of response, but the promotion is not working if sales sees no qualified leads. Setting goals must include both branding and sales deliverables in terms of qualified leads.

AThe degree that would make you most attractive for working in both fields is an MBA (Master of Business Administration).However, if you can, get a job as a fashion merchandiser. Gain experience in doing that job. Then, depending upon where you work and what you accomplish, you can apply for a job as a marketing director, based on your job performance as a fashion merchandiser. On the job experience can sometimes count for more than a degree.

AI dont know what an integration manager is but I can tell you about marketing. People who work in marketing are responsibile for selling things. 99% of their job is to make money. They are responsible for creating the marketing communications (marcom) that increases the public's awareness and encourages people to buy your product or serice. The marcom could be newspaper / tv or radio ads, web banners, flyers that come to your house, etc. They are responsible for pricing the service or product so that its profitable and a good alternative to the competition and creating offers and discounts to attract new and retain existing customers. They are responsible for figuring out who needs their product or service, where they live and how to best communicate with them. It is a fast paced job; lots of deadlines, lots of creative work with a wide variety of people and always the focus on the numbers. You report in to the company executives. You work with the people who design and update your product or service as well as the people who support it and sell it (storefront, websites etc). You are alwasy monitoring the numbers: how many customers did we get, how many left us, (why?) how much are they paying, how can we sell them more, how is the competition performing? etc.You live and die by the numbers: if you meet your targets for sales, revenue, etc you usually get a bonus on top of your salary. If you don't make the numbers you dont get a bonus and eventually you'll get fired. The director is responsible for all of this, and maybe more. It can be cutting edge, dynamic work but it's not for everyone... Good luck. I suggest you figure out what you like and what your'e good at and start there. Focus some, but not too much, on the salaries.

AMarketing directors oversee a company's marketing strategy. For the most part marketing directors concern themselves with market segments, which are large groups of consumers defined by income, ethnicity, age, or a number of other factors. Ultimately marketing directors want to know which market segments will buy their company's products and how best to sell those products to their target market.The duties of a marketing director vary considerably from company to company. Some marketing directors limit themselves to analyzing the market potential and profitability of various products and to developing strategies to achieve the greatest number of sales of those products in the market. Other directors are responsible not only for analyzing markets and proposing strategies but also for implementing those strategies through market research, product development, advertising, and sales promotion programs. Still other marketing directors have sales managers reporting to them.

AIn the interest of fairness, a restaurant will usually provide the same nominal benefits, holidays, and other compensations to office management that it does to other bar, back of the house, and front of the house management. Independant restaurants are less likely to provide sick pay, and are more likely to require you to work holidays, even if it is outside of your normal job responsibilities and usual scheudle. Hours could be a standard 40 hour week, but are more likely to be vaired, or second shift and weekend work. There really is no standard.

ADoing a search for jobs like this, it appears that a range of 103k-201k is very likely. Kind of broad I know but it is usually based on experience.

APhone them up and ask them for the number where marketing is based, then phone there and they will probably give it to you, it's not a big deal for them to do that if you are genuine and have a good reason for it, just let them know why and that you are not selling anything as they can be a bit negative at first as companies get a lot of sales calls, be persistent if you don't get it first time, but obviously don't annoy them.
