How to get break into the entertainment industry in Marketing?
July 2nd, 2009
I have a diploma in Computer Systems, and one in digital media/game design. I’ve done some websites, a bit of graphics, video and audio editing, and Flash games.
I’m currently living in my hometown (I’m in Canada) attending college in Marketing/PR/Business, and really want to do Marketing or PR in the entertainment industry when I graduate in 2 years. However, the city I live in doesn’t have too many opportunities dealing with entertainment industry, and I’ve been doing research now on the companies I want to work for. I’m very willing to move too.
My question is how to I break into the industry in Marketing? Are there any websites (other than entertainmentcareers.net), networking events, volunteer opportunities, job fairs, newsletters, internships or anything that can get my foot in the door? or at least get myself some contacts? Or anything?
I appreciate it if anyone of you can help me out. This has always been a passion and a dream of mine that I want to achieve. Thx.
