Not got time for a video? Check out the main points below...

What are the salaries like?
"In the private sector you're looking at around £18-22k, in the media it's slightly less as the market is more competitive. A top end salary for a big blue chip organisation could be on the £150-200k+ but on a more average level it's about £45-55k."

What about the working environment?
"It's a very busy environment and you will be expected to do overtime, especially when approaching a deadline for a campaign."

Can it be stressful/rewarding?
"Deadlines can be stressful and making sure that things are legally above board, but it's so rewarding seeing your work go live and its impact, for example seeing an outdoor ad or TV campaign that you've worked on."

Do you need a degree?
"It's good to have a degree in a related subject, so aside from marketing, maybe business studies, but a degree isn't essential if you have good experience."

What key skills and personality traits do you need?
"Personality is a big part of being successful within this industry, but of course you do need core skills such as the ability to be diplomatic and be a good strategist."

How can I get more clued up on the sector?
"Marketing Week, Marketing and Brand Republic are all great. It's also good to read job descriptions to get an idea of what's out there and what people are expecting."
