Advertising managers plan and direct advertising policies and programs or produce collateral materials, such as posters, contests, or give-aways, to create extra interest in the purchase of a product or service for a department, an entire organization, or on an account basis.

While working, they often gather and organize data to develop advertising campaigns and talk with department heads and staff to consider contracts, selection of advertising media, or product to be advertised.

They are required to respond to the actions of other and coordinate activities with them and look for ways to help others.

Advertising managers should be able to listen to and understand others in meetings and think creatively about the ideas of others.

In order to be successful in the workplace, advertising managers must be thorough and dependable and believe in innovation and creative thought.
