Every company has a brand behind it. Brand managers figure out what that brand means to the customers and work with that meaning to create the best product and impression possible. They usually work with a company’s marketing and advertising departments. A typical workday can see some of the following tasks:

Creating and executing campaigns
Analyzing metrics from previous campaigns
Read blogs and social media to see what’s being said about the brand online
Study current campaigns of competing brands

Brand managers can work with any company that has a brand. Depending on the size of the company, a brand manager may also work in marketing, public relations, or even social media management; this is more likely to be the case with small companies. Brand managers can also work with agencies that provide brand management services.

You’ll need a bachelor’s degree for most brand management jobs, as well as creativity and excellent communication, interpersonal, and writing skills. Some well-known products offer brand ambassador programs on college campuses, which is a great way to see if managing a brand is for you.
