Career Prospect
Enhancing your employability skills

The Future Media course directly answers the industry call for “T-skilled” workers in the creative media industry, (Skillset. Strategic Skills Assessment for the Creative Media IndustryLondon. 2009: 20). Here professional employability is defined by proficiency across disciplines and specialist expertise within them.

Typically, Future Media graduates at work are delivering multichannel digital campaigns for their clients but their choice of MA or MSc award instruction, Final Major Project and continuing professional development plans direct them towards specialist ends of the marketing spectrum:
- MSc graduates incline towards ‘planning’ roles, (the experience space around product positioning and consumer journeys), and are frequently employed as online customer experience managers in optimising accounts, performance marketing, search engine marketing and website auditing.
- MA graduates tend to choose ‘strategic’ roles, (the values space around brand strategy and consumer insight), and are frequently employed in client liaison as account managers, brand strategists, creative producers, content curators and marketing campaign development.
