E-marketing managers are in charge of planning and managing marketing campaigns that promote a company's brand, products, and services. Their duties include planning campaigns, analyzing metrics, and identifying trends. They typically have experience in art direction and social media.

In this position, they are responsible for all aspects of the marketing operations. Their central goal is to help grow their brand's influence locally while also increasing brand loyalty and awareness.

E-marketing managers require at least a bachelor's degree in a related field. Additionally, they must possess knowledge of marketing, internet marketing, and social media. Nonetheless, their employers may also seek skills in communication, customer relationships, and management.

Currently, this profession bears significant room for salary growth. They can earn an average base pay at a range of between $73,000 and $141,000 yearly.

Marketing is a dream job for me, and I'm thrilled with my decision. I recommend tailoring your classes to what you view you may need, not just taking standard, required courses. For example, I was not required to take Graphic Design, but I thought it would help me be more well-rounded, and it has helped me quite a bit. I'd also recommend trying out different internships, with companies of various sizes, to gauge if you enjoy being a big part of a little company or a small part of a big company.
