Marketing assistant
Description
The marketing assistant is the right-hand man of the marketing manager and is considered more as a right-hand man than a subordinate. His role and his missions are more or less the same as the marketing manager. However, he/she is not responsible for the results and assumes the position of manager during the numerous trips of his/her collaborator. The assistant/manager duo must be particularly strong and efficient. His/her job is to develop and follow an advertising and commercial strategy for the company's products. Therefore, he/she participates in the choice of the tools used, in the negotiation of the advertising spaces and in ensuring a permanent watch of the market evolution.
