What will help Campaign Coordinators increase their earning potential?
Dr. Mathew Cabot APR: A PR practitioner's day-to-day responsibilities can widely vary depending on the practitioner's role, including media relations, social media management, content creation, crisis and reputation management, research and data analytics, and employee communication. Regardless of the specific role, all public relations practitioners help organizations behave and communicate in ways that build trust between the organizations they represent and the stakeholders on whom their success or failure depends. A beginning practitioner could be involved in a variety of tasks, including media monitoring, social media management, research, writing, content creation, and event planning and support.

What Campaign Coordinator skills would you recommend for someone trying to advance their career?
Sara Erlichman Ph.D.: One of the top advice I see is that you document your successes with KPIs. Keep a Word file in your personal cloud documenting any and all positive feedback from colleagues and hard data that demonstrate successful results. Only you know exactly how you've impacted the company through your work, and no one is going to advocate for you as well as you can for yourself!
Kevin Faigle
Media Relations SpecialistWhat Campaign Coordinator skills would you recommend for someone trying to advance their career?
Kevin Faigle: That's tough to answer. But one, try to see what other similar positions are being paid. There are plenty of websites where you can find salary ranges for positions and that may give a good basis for a starting point. Also, be sure to track everything you are good at and build that resume up. Sometimes a HR department will have a salary range in the job posting, and don't be afraid to ask for the higher amount or even negotiate. 100% of the questions you don't ask, the answer is no. If you are confident in your ability and confident in your background, then show that and push for a higher salary level.

How do you envision technology impacting Campaign Coordinators in the next 5 years?
Dr. Douglas MacLeod: As far as where we will be in five years, technologically, we have been thrust into the future in 2020 due to COVID. I think we were moving slowly but surely to the models we see now: shop from home, work from home, learn from home. Much of what we will see in the next five years will be similar to what we are witnessing now, whether we like it or not, but I think it will happen at a much faster pace. So, the question is not so much about where the technologies are going to be...the question is: Are we going to rapidly learn how to use those technologies so we can keep up with the market the way it is going?
We can longer depend on the traditional methods of communicating and working. Yes, we must learn the contexts, the histories, the old-fashioned ways; but, that is what should fuel students and graduates to look at what the job market is going to look like when they move on into the professional world. College is meant to expose you to both; SUNY Cobleskill's Communication program, for example, provides you with an interdisciplinary experience that gives you a sense of what was, what is, and what will be in the way of visual communication...writing, production, and theory/history.
We provide you with the skills you will need once you step out in the job market--whether in broadcasting, journalism, marketing, advertising, publishing, or fields outside of the discipline, like education, law, and sales. So, the long and short of it is not so much about the technologies leading the charge; it is about how students and graduates can continuously acclimate to those changes that will make all the difference.
