The jargon for marketing communications is "Marcoms", so I was operating in a trendy media-savvy role. It goes without saying that not all marketing communications is glamorous, it purely depends on which industry you operate in. You could be a Marcoms manager for an engineering company or a famous drinks brand where you’re going to launches and parties as part of your job.My workload varied in creating marketing communications strategies, liaising with PR departments and media professionals, and working closely with individual sales and marketing people to help them publicise and sell their products and services. It goes without saying that I was good with words and ideas and may have cut people's teeth as a copywriter or PR person – or still be one. As I have said, the term covers a wide range of skills.
