How would you describe the media industry?
Go on. Take a moment. Picture it.
Everything you’ve heard and read has probably clued you in to what the life of a media management exec is like. If you still find yourself coming up short for words, let me help you out; shark-eat-shark, cut-throat, fiercely competitive, and also…
Incredibly rewarding.
Call it what you will; a sliver of interest, a budding passion, pure happenstance, or all of the above, have probably led you here. And here is the perfect place if you’re a 12th grade graduate with a shiny degree, but sorely discombobulated about the big, bad F word. That’s right – the Future.
So let’s break it down. What even is Media and Entertainment Management? More importantly, is it perfect for you or should you jump ship right about now and go be a lawyer or something?
Media and Entertainment Management 101
Here’s the great news! Media Management enables you to diversify a dull portfolio. How? Well, it includes management roles in a whole host of exciting fields including gaming, events, film, music, television and interactive media. The entertainment world will be your oyster and you pretty much get to go cherry-picking from several incredible opportunities. You’ll manage teams, boss people around, achieve your creative vision within challenging deadlines, which you decide, whilst overseeing budgets and coaxing through everybody’s best efforts in the most cost-effective manner possible.
This is where your leadership qualities are motioned to the forefront in a world that is constantly evolving, thus keeping you on your toes. A couple of key areas that are part and parcel of the industry are public relations, marketing, advertising, and publishing. To put it plainly, a media manager is really like any other except he or she has special knowledge and skills pertaining to his or her chosen field in addition to generic skills. The raison d’être for any media manager is to always ensure that the company’s branding strategy plays nice with its public image.
Sounds fun, right? You shoot, you score!
So um, is this the right career for you?
Here’s the not-so-great news. Whilst opportunities abound, it’s easier said than done to nab the perfect job. Employers look for a blend of both interpersonal and entrepreneurial skills; a surprisingly rare combination that oft eludes most. You have to be incredibly dynamic, a people-pleaser but definitely not a pushover, a person that stays 12 steps ahead of everybody, somebody with a vision and the nerve to see it through, and an effective approach when it comes to controlling a team of what will probably be a whole ton of different age groups with different temperaments.
A savvy media manager will take maximum advantage of new age media platforms to enhance the company’s relationship with its customers. This means you’re expected to transform into a one-man circus act and keep several plates spinning all at once.
Intimidated? Don’t be! We’ve got a surprise for you.
