Marketing for Results

While Marketing is generally seen as a strictly creative career, there are a number of tactical and logistical processes that are included.

The objective of any firm is to market and sell its products or services profitably. In small firms, the owner or Chief Executive Officer (CEO) might assume all advertising, promotions, marketing, sales, and public relations responsibilities. In large firms, which may offer numerous products and services nationally or even worldwide, an executive vice president directs overall advertising, promotions, marketing, sales, and public relations policies.
