Why work in business media?
The business media industry is exciting, fast-moving and dynamic so you can benefit from a wide variety of career options.
Individual brands are highly prized and valued; working on a branded business product - printed publication, online service or event - gives you a great feeling of being part of a community of professionals. Your customers are likely to be highly vocal and passionate about your product and share that passion with you.
Business media companies have to continually stay abreast of new technological developments and innovate across mulitple platforms, however this is truly still a work in progress for many companies with brands not yet migrated online or diversified into other media.
This creates a large number of exciting job opportunities where you will be constantly learning and often find yourself at the forefront of new product development.
"People imagine that the way to get promoted is to prove they can do the next job but what they actually need to do is their current job better than anyone else and then the company will take a risk and promote them."

It may not appear to be the sexiest of sectors but this can work in your favour - definitely operating as a meritocracy, where availability of talented staff is scarce, show your commitment and you could move ahead really quickly.
