Did u enjoy it, learn from it? Ivr been out of xlcollege for 6 mos now and I have a job at a Biz intelligence co but kost of my experiejce is in onoine advertising, also I look at my future in the same field. So im looking for some insight into the job the people etc...
I did actually, I started as a campaign manager which meant I sat and wrote/upload ads all day. I learned a fair bit about writing ads, and stats. I did this for 4 months and then moved to the SEO department after someone left. I had gone to the job with plenty of my own experience and the VP basically told me I was moving. There I analyzed sites wrote giant 30-40 page reports and then had calls with the clients to explain them.
The SEO was a good gig, pay was meh, the campaign manager had bonuses for getting people to spend more. They basically took just about anyone in as a campaign manger, if you were not a total idiot and could write copy you were in, lots of people just out of school.
The one thing to note though is companies like this will not teach you anything if you have been in the business successfully for a long time. They were almost my first look at adwords so I got a lot out of it. But there is no room/need for creativity in a job like that. The ads I wrote were almost 90% branding. You get the company "online" you don't care about converting. You tell them you sent them 5k visitors, isn't that great, tell them to spend more, you get paid, repeat.
Things may have changed in the last few years, and other companies may do it differently but it was all about sales and volume.
Edit: Whats really funny is I read his post and didn't even notice anything wrong.
