If you are a POC in SA seeking a career in Marketing, please try not to make a pit stop by working for promotional agencies. Promotional agencies are white owned informal businesses who take advantage of black employees by paying them less then yt employees.

Their recruitment process is also very biased. You, as a POC could be more experienced than your fellow it colleague but she will get the promotion and pay raise.

A job at a promotional agency is not what advertiser's or marketer's do anyway, promotional agencies just hire staff, train them and supervise staff. Digital marketers or in house marketers jobs are more creative, formal and research based.

So basically if you're looking the work in a marketing environment, a promotional manager or account manager is not it. The rewards for this kind of job is actually kak.
