Scope of Digital Marketing in Bangalore
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.
