What environment is a Marketing Assistant based in?

An office.

How much does a Marketing Assistant travel?

How much travel you need to do will depend entirely on the company you're employed by. Some companies, for example, will have offices in other cities in the UK (or even overseas) and may ask that you travel there to work periodically. Alternatively, you may be required to travel to external meetings - for example, very often a marketing agency will be expected to travel to their client's office to have meetings.

How much does a Marketing Assistant get paid?

A marketing assistant will earn around £18,000 - £25,000 per annum, depending on location. If the living cost of the city is higher, the salary will tend to reflect that.

The average salary of a marketing manager position (in London) is around £45,000 per annum, with some professionals earning as much as £68,000 per annum. Marketing directors will earn £90,000 per annum on average.

Perks & benefits

Larger companies may offer perks such as private healthcare, and all companies will offer a pension scheme.

What qualifications does a Marketing Assistant need?

Some companies will ask for A-Levels and at least five GCSEs. Others seek marketing or business related degrees from their candidates.

An alternative route to a degree is gaining a qualification from the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), such as the Foundation Certificate or Certificate in Professional Marketing. Some entry-level marketing professionals have chosen to study for one of CIM's qualifications while they're working. Companies have also been known to support their employees in gaining one of their qualifications through funding and/or allocated study days.
