One of the first steps you should be taking includes market research, you do it to know if people are willing to purchase this future shoe brand that you will be offering. In other words, market research will answer this question: "Is this a good idea"

You might have asked "What does marketing have anything to do with logistics" "How can a marketer take such tasks?"
The answer is quite simple, marketing's main objective is creating that bond with customers.

9- Sales

“Sales is not about selling anymore, but about building trust and educating.” – Siva Devaki

When it comes to presenting products/services to potential customers, negotiating, and getting hot deals, no one can do that better than a salesperson.

Someone with great communication skills and some negotiating techniques will do great as a salesperson.

Graphic designers are the magicians we never see performing, but without them, the show wouldn't be complete.

Creative and tech-savvy, graphic designers translate what marketers want into what I like to call the real deal. Because here's the thing, most people hate reading, so imagine if marketers would publish plain boring text for their campaigns! 

Some duties that graphic designers have are:

•  Designing visually attractive content (logos, brochures, images,...)
• Photoshop
• Enhancements/editing

13- Copywriting

Average Salary: $58,000/yr

“Copy is a direct conversation with the consumer.” – Shirley Polykoff

The text you see on ads, brochures,... wasn't put there because it sounded nice, ooh no, it went through a long journey to get there, and it's called copywriting. 

Copywriters create text that converts, they write a bunch of words that may seem spontaneous (and they should), after performing long research about the target audience, collaborating with other departments, and brainstorming the most attractive copies.

Copywriting is one of the growing marketing jobs out there. The good news is, you can learn it yourself! All you have to do is type copywriting on Google...

14- Search Engine Marketing

Average Salary: $65,000/yr

SEM (search engine marketing) is what decides who wins the race!

A business can have the most engaging website, but it doesn't appear on search engines on the first or the second page, while its competitors do. End of the game!

Search engine marketing focuses on Google campaigns, but it does include SEO (search engine optimization) as well. 

Suppose your summer clothes website isn't ranking first yet, and the summer season is almost there, some companies wouldn't risk it relying 100% on SEO, and decide to pay Google to help them out, and that's how they win the game!

15-Digital Marketing

Although digital marketers have a wide range of activities.
