Interactive media presents digital content (such as text, images, and video) and responds to the user’s actions accordingly. Because interactive media is used in a lot of occupations across a wide variety of industries, you can use interactive media in many places, including:

Web development
Design, including graphic design and UX/UI design
Content creation
Community management
Advertising and marketing

Because interactive media is a relatively new field, more and more opportunities are popping up. You may get a job that doesn’t exist right now, or that few people are working in.

You need a bachelor’s degree for most jobs in interactive media. Depending on which aspect of interactive media you’re interested in, you may also need a portfolio.
