What does a marketer do? In simple words, a marketer is a specialist who helps a seller and a buyer find each other. Over many years, this profession has been at its peak of popularity. But now offline marketing has significantly given up its position. The new reality requires new specialists. The specialists who can do online marketing.
At the interface of economics and technology
More and more companies are trying to bring their business online, and those that have already done this try to maintain and strengthen their positions. Traditional marketing with print ads, telephone communications, and face-to-face meetings is not enough anymore to cope with these tasks. We need specialists who can sell using online tools: sites, social networks, virtual platforms. To do this effectively, you need an education that combines economics and programming. And the specialty "Electronic Marketing" provides this kind of education.
