For College Students
    Overview
    Being a metropolitan city and the Silicon Valley of India, there is no dearth of demand for digital marketing professionals in Bangalore. From small companies to large ones, from B2B organizations to B2C ones, everyone needs the exposure and transaction gained through digital marketing. With the skills learned from upGrad’s Digital Marketing course in Bangalore, you can plenty of options when it comes to how and where you want to work. The first is with an organization wherein you are a part of their internal digital marketing team. These are lesser paid positions since digital marketing is only a part of what the organization does and not the main task. There is also no variety since you are associated with one company only.
    The second option is to work with a digital marketing agency. Here, you’ll be paid better and there will be more variety as well since the agency will cater to a wide variety of individual clients and companies who will outsource their digital marketing efforts. The first 2 options operate within 9-5 and would normally require you to commute unless you manage to land a remote position.
    The third option is to work as a freelancer and take on independent work of your own. This path is fraught with a lot of hard work in the beginning since you might have to work with lesser-paying clients in the beginning as you build up a portfolio and gain work experience. This path, however, offers the most flexibility and freedom in terms of where and when you work. So, if these things are integral to your working style, then going freelance might be the path for you.
    The final option is to start your own digital marketing agency. This can happen organically as well when you become a freelancer and start hiring people to work under you. If you are of an entrepreneurial spirit, then this option would be for you. Remember, though, that growing and sustaining a business is a tough challenge and entrepreneurship is not as glamorous as it seems. Prepare to carve your nerves to become tough like steel.
    Whichever option you choose, you’ll be able to thrive in them all in Bangalore. The work culture of the city will support you. However, you’ll need to have a strong foundation in digital marketing for the same and upGrad’s Digital Marketing course will help you to refine your basics and more.
    Digital Marketing is an emerging field, which means it is still evolving. Thus, to be a successful Digital Marketer, only degrees and certifications aren’t enough. You need to have a strong passion for learning, researching, and discovering new trends in both the market and the digital domain. Here are a few simple steps to help you become a Digital Marketer:
    Ideal educational qualifications:
    • First, get a Bachelor’s degree (any specialization will do, but if you are interested in Marketing, perhaps BBA will be the right choice).
    • Enroll in a Digital Marketing course/training program and get a Digital Marketing certification.
    • Attend industry networking events (conferences, seminars, webinars, etc.) to learn from Thought Leaders and to connect with like-minded individuals.
    • Acquire a Digital Marketing internship.
    • Stay updated with the advancements in the field of Digital Marketing by reading journals, articles, blogs, newsletters, and books.
    • Never stop learning and practicing.

    Overview
    Salaries for digital marketing depend on your position, just like they do in any other field. Here are the average salary numbers, though:

    For an experienced professional: INR 10 LPA
    For a mid-level professional: INR 7.93 LPA
    For an early career professional: INR 4.93 LPA
    For a fresher: INR 3.10 LPA
    These numbers are not set in stone. If you provide enough value to the company and deliver results, there is no reason why you won’t be paid any higher. All in all, digital marketing is a course of the present and future with endless opportunities for those who are creative and willing to work hard.
    Since you’ll be receiving over 400 hours of learning, you’ll be well on your way to climb the various rungs of the digital marketing career ladder. You’ll first begin as a trainee/ intern. If you display promise and potential, you’ll be absorbed in the company as a Digital Marketing Analyst. 2 more years working and learning in this position will propel you to the post of Digital Marketing Expert. After this, you’ll merge your skills with management to become a Digital Marketing Assistant Manager or Team Lead. This position is achieved after 5 years of experience and working. Instead of actively creating the campaigns, you will be crafting strategies for them, coordinating, collaborating, forming and handling relationships.
    After the 8th year of working, you’ll be further promoted to the position of Digital Marketing Manager wherein you’ll perform the same tasks you did as an Assistant Manager, but at a much larger scale and with a greater number of teams. The next rung on the ladder for you is the position of a Digital Marketing Strategist. It will be your core responsibility to be abreast of the latest and possible future trends so you can come up with the right strategy for your clients. The analysis of your implementations will also play a crucial role here.
    Finally, if you’ve stuck out through all these years and experiences to gain knowledge, results, and professionalism, you’ll be well on your way to becoming the Chief Marketing Officer. Congratulations!
