#11: The Different Career Paths of A/E/C Marketers, Part 1
Is there a career path in A/E/C marketing beyond the marketing coordinator role?
If you have been in your role as a marketing coordinator for any length of time, usually around the 2-3 year mark, you begin to wonder what role is next. You can become a Senior Marketing Coordinator and then eventually a Proposal or Marketing Manager. Eventually, you may be managing other staff, larger pursuits and/or multiple pursuits.
Can you ever get beyond the proposals? Do you want to? What other career paths are there for A/E/C marketers?
I asked my community of marketing professionals this exact question, and they didn’t disappoint. In part 1 of this series, I share the career path stories of seven different marketing, communications, and business development professionals.
There’s also a special guest who started as a marketing coordinator, turned to business development, and now is providing project management assistance on the very design-build projects she helped to win.
This is a fun and inspiring episode, so grab a coffee or put on those earbuds and sneakers and listen up.
