10 fun and diverse industries to work in as a marketer

From MarketingHub.me

Who said work had to be boring? Just because you’re in this business doesn’t mean you necessarily have to stick to a routinely boring office job. More companies in the region from a variety of industries are realizing the need for great in-house marketing departments.




If you’re ready to try something different, consider some of the following industries for a more diverse marketing career.


1. Sports

This is one of the industries in the region that’s suffering from a lack of accessibility and organization. It’s disturbing how much help sports and recreation still need today.



2. Travel & Tourism

Sure, airlines and travel agencies are common sectors to consider, but don’t forget about local tour operators, eco- travel, and cultural preservation. Talk about an interesting job.



3. Entertainment

Think beyond events and events management. You have a growing comedy scene in the Middle East for example. It’s also easy to be a freelancer in this industry if you wish.



4. Non-profit

There are an endless list of options to consider here, including environmental campaigns, charity programs, and community development. Most marketers find this industry emotionally satisfying.



5. Healthcare

You don’t see many marketing efforts in healthcare from the region but it’s definitely on the verge of growth. And this applies to public healthcare as well.



6. Arts

The Middle East is already seeing great marketing efforts in art galleries but also try to consider other art forms. There are possibilities in the film, performance arts and street art industries to name a few.



7. Fashion

This is no walk in the park but it’s definitely a glamorous and exciting industry for marketers who enjoy the pressure rush and seek an intensely fast-paced career.



8. Food & beverage

It may seem like a painfully traditional industry to go into as a marketer but there are interesting variations. Try, for example, to get into fine cuisine, or family-owned establishments rather than the dreadful hotel dining business.



9. Sciences

Who knows if there’s a great amount of scientific research in the region? Maybe if better marketing efforts existed, we might know more about this sector in the Middle East.



10. Publishing

Forget magazines. More books and literature are coming out of the region today but unfortunately we don’t get to see their full potential for success. Be the one to bring this industry to life.
