Try to get experience in marketing by finding a part-time or summer job at a marketing firm. You can also create a marketing campaign for a real or imaginary product or service. Consider creating a campaign for your favorite sports team, your favorite app, or the iPod. Join marketing associations to learn more about the field. Many organizations offer memberships for college students, and a few have membership categories for high school students.
Talk with marketing consultants about their careers. A school counselor may be able to arrange an information interview with a consultant. Be sure to ask the consultant important questions relating to reasons why he or she entered the field, the best and worst parts of the job, training opportunities, and any other related advice the person may have for an aspiring marketing consultant.
