Marketing Project Manager

Marketing Project Managers oversee the use of a variety of marketing techniques to promote their company. The duties of Marketing Project Managers vary greatly from company to company, depending on its size and the type of industry. For example, if you work for a large company, you may be assigned to handle a single product, as opposed to the company as a whole.

As a Marketing Project Manager, you use a multitude of methods to promote your company. You work in unison with advertising, sales, public relations, and upper management to plan and implement marketing strategies. These strategies may include online campaigns, brochures, signs, press releases, and other visual and editorial material that will make consumers aware of your brand.

Your day-to-day duties include collaborating with the graphics department on advertising artwork, writing copy, communicating with stakeholders, and other supervisory responsibilities. You also do market research since it’s an important part of successful project management. You must understand your company, its products, and customer base in order to create effective marketing campaigns.

Organization, prioritization, and careful planning are a must if you want to thrive as a Marketing Project Manager. By projecting available time, budget, and resources for each project, and tracking its status, you help your team meet deadlines and achieve their set goals.

You should also be able to work on several projects at once, while keeping on schedule and within budget. You’ll be expected to conduct regular meetings with your team, present progress reports, and analyze the results of completed projects.
