Marketing Specialist Jobs in Chicago, IL

A Marketing Specialist is a professional who designs and implements marketing strategies for a company, increasing its visibility and profitability. They study market trends, consumer behavior, competitors, and all aspects of marketing, then apply this information to create strategies that increase customer engagement and drive sales. They may also be involved in developing pricing strategies, identifying marketing opportunities, and tracking the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. These professionals work closely with other team members, such as the sales team, public relations personnel, and product developers.

Key skills for a Marketing Specialist include exceptional communication, creativity, analytical thinking, project management, and digital marketing skills. Knowledge of marketing software and online applications like CRM tools, online analytics, and Google Adwords is often required. While a bachelor's degree in marketing or a related field is typically needed, certifications such as a Certified Professional Marketer (CPM), Certified Marketing Management Professional (CMMP), or a Digital Marketing Certification can give candidates an edge. Prior roles that can lead to becoming a Marketing Specialist may include Marketing Coordinator, Marketing Assistant, or Sales Representative.
