THE TRUTH OF BEING AN ADVERTISING MAJOR | FROM A COLLEGE SENIOR **why I chose advertising/marketing*

don't forget to subscribe!! kzbin.info...
Is advertising/marketing the right field for you? Is an advertising/marketing degree worth it? I feel like people have so many questions about whether or not they should choose advertising/marketing, because I know I did. People don't talk enough about it, and I wish I had known more before going into my freshman year of college. I finally wanted to sit down and talk about my decision to chose advertising as my college major. Currently, I'm a senior pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Advertising. If you are considering advertising or marketing, this is the video for you! I absolutely love my major, and so I'm excited to share my experiences with you all. :)
Today I'm talking about what advertising is, advertising internships, misconceptions about advertising and marketing, future advertising careers and career paths (such as a strategy, research, account manager, copywriter, graphic design, photography/videography, etc.), and why I decided advertising was the perfect fit for me.

I'd love to answer any questions you might have about advertising or college in general so lmk!!

[@kickball121]

I love this video so much! I'm a recent grad with a Bachelor's Degree in Advertising. I feel stuck because I can't find any jobs due to most wanting to hire people with experience. How can I get experience if no one will give it to me? I've tried applying to internships as well.

[@breannalockwood6513]

You're one of the few KZbinrs that I have found that are relatively close to my age majoring in advertising! Thank you so much for making this, I just changed my major to advertising last semester! ps I subscribed :)

[@KristenCaseyyy]

Aww thank YOU!! 😊 I’m really glad I can be relatable and helpful!! And welcome to advertising, it really is the best major 😉

[@MichelleDuque-me4up]

Oh my god I'm literally a telecom production major that requested an advising appointment yesterday to change my major to advertising... lol. Thank you so much for going into detail about the major at UF and the different areas it can lead to! It really helps a lot and I appreciate it. It's also cool to see the different kinds of adv classes at UF and what you can learn about! I haven't really been able to see so much detail on this online so it's cool to learn about- thank you! :)

[@KristenCaseyyy]

You’re so welcome!! I actually looked at telecom too because I think I’m really similar to you! I just wanted a fun field I could be creative in, but still bring in business and the people side of work. I hope your advising appointment went well!!

[@ArdenPalmer]

Sounds like making the switch to advertising was a great move for you! I agree that most people learn about marketing and think that its the same thing and don't want to get into advertising. Thanks for sharing this information!

[@KristenCaseyyy]

It was such a move!! I absolutely love being in advertising. And I love that it was helpful for you! 😊

[@itscheyennecassidy]

literally same! i did a marketing course in grade 10 and hated all the price and distribution stuff it took me another 6 years until i realized the distinction between marketing and advertising and then i switched my major to communications. so happy i did!

[@KristenCaseyyy]

Yes omg I hear such similar things from people who finally hear about advertising and realize that’s what they wanted to do! I love hearing from other comm majors 🥰🥰 I feel like we are all so similar lol!!

[@weezasworld]

intro is EVERYTHING!! haha

[@KristenCaseyyy]

Haha thank you!! 😊

I'm majoring in Advertising with minoring in Film.. i have studied about Advertising and Marketing both in my high school i was general business/commerce major during high school but i was also interested in film and media.. Advertising is something mix of Business and Media so that's why i choose advertising major and film minor..

[@KristenCaseyyy]

Yess I love that! And I totally agree, I love how advertising combines a lot of different areas. It makes classes more fun and interesting!

[@nycto16]

@@KristenCaseyyy Yes! And you have mentioned that advertising salary is not that high paying at start.. i know it is but in creative side, if you are in business side like brand management, marketing, social media, digital marketing the pay is really good! It depends on what company you are working for obviously. I'm planning to go into business side for sure because of pay plus i'm not that creative ^-^

[@sharonknipe6385]

this is so insightful thank youu! i’ve gotten accepted and offers to study a bachelor of Marketing, Advertising and PR but i’m not sure if i should do that or a broader degree like commerce then major in marketing and advertising? opinions? x

[@sharonknipe6385]

literally related to all your reasons of choosing marketing. creative but not to the extremes, enjoys business, talking and upselling

[@sharonknipe6385]

your classes sound so fun! i want to be able to have the options to study those but it’s so confusing cause so many universities offer so many different things

[@KristenCaseyyy]

Hey girl! I would say it really comes down to your skills and experiences that matter in the long run. So compare programs and classes between the majors! Make a pro con list of both and which is going to be more specific to what you really want to do! Hope this helps! 😊

[@ivydeangelis9121]

Hello great video. Do you have any recommendations for a great collage for advertising and marketing ?

[@KristenCaseyyy]

I know Florida schools have amazing advertising programs! That’s why I came down to Florida and attended UF in the first place! But I also know USC and UGA have really good programs!

[@hilarygayosa9147]

Omg great video! I want to take a marketing degree in the future but what is the difference of marketing and advertising because the university that i'm applying to offers both so I don't know what to pick.

[@KristenCaseyyy]

Hey girl!! Thank you so much for the love. Marketing and advertising are really similar, but marketing includes more of the business side of things while advertising is more the creative/strategy side of things. Advertising is actually a subcategory of marketing. I knew I wanted to pick advertising because my classes had more of a creative focus with graphic design/copywriting/research/strategy/media/etc where as marketing would have required me to take accounting and finance and stuff like that. Both are honestly great and you can’t go wrong with your choice. It depends on what your career goals are! Hope this helped 😊

[@hilarygayosa9147]

Thank you!😄

[@rachels940]

great video!! Would you say advertising and communications are similar, major and job outlook wise?

[@KristenCaseyyy]

@smileybts I would agree with this! But if your school doesn't have advertising specifically, like my old school didn't, you could still major in it and be in the same field after graduation. What matters most importantly is your experience and internships! While its better to have a more specific and focused major, if you can't have that than work on making the best portfolio and resume that you can! Otherwise, they both will get you in the same direction for sure!!

[@rachels940]

@smileybts Thankyou for your detailed response! my college doesn't offer majors in specific courses like you mentioned but does have a public relations minor so thanks for bringing it up!

[@edwess]

Which specialization did u take?

[@NguyenMinh.01]

Is Marketing as artistic and creative as Advertising or it’s more Statistical and Mathematical?

Is advertising and marketing same??

I'm trying to find a list of advertising courses i have to take in my college and i can't find it. ;/ i just see marketing, is that the major name? since i cant find the list as "advertising major".

[@KristenCaseyyy]

Hey, it might be under a different college in your school! So for example my ADV classes were in the Journalism and Communications school, and my marketing classes were under the business school. At my precious school, they were COMM classes under CLAS. It al depends on your school!

[@shieshie6221]

im pretty my journey as and advertising major now would've turned out very differently if there hadnt any covid and it isnt online classes and wouldve have enjoyed my course more if professors are considerate now :v

[@KristenCaseyyy]

I feel that :\ but hey, what I did was take a bunch of online learning courses that I knew were better my resume! Just work on making that resume look great with experiences and skills that matter!

[@ariannedigs]

omg after watching this, the more I want to pursue advertising!! but i'm worried in my country we do things differently? idk svjsldv

[@KristenCaseyyy]

Hey!! I totally recommend 😉 an advertising degree gives you the transferable skills you can use in almost any major, which makes it really cool and applicable! I say study what you think you would enjoy the most, and the rest of the success will follow!

YES! There are soooo many roles in advertising that are perfect for introverts. In fact most of them are! The one role I would say you have to be really extroverted for is account management and that’s just because you oversee your entire team and the client you have!
