Do startups need marketing people?
-
My goal is to work in the startup world, and i'm hesitating at the college courses i should take to be in it. I like marketing but i'm afraid startups don't really need marketing people or maybe they look more for an all around business person. In the other hand, i know that if i go into web programming i will be able to get where i want to be, the only thing is i like more marketing and i'm better at it.

Answer:
They do desperately but many don't realize it. These days they call it growth hacking. Leave it to marketers to invent a new way to describe what they do in a way that is relatable to technologists. ;) Getting paid for your marketing expertise without track record would be tough.

You want to get clients or sell your products and make some income right?? If you do then you need to promote those services and products .. For that purpose you need a Marketing person..but if you are small company and can not afford full time person for marketing you could hire an agency to do your marketing in the mean time.. But still their difference when you get the work done by agency and when you get the work done in house..

I believe if ur startup enterprise is really that attractive or if the concept is really customer oriented...even a small amount of marketing would help...Word of mouth would do the rest..for example: My company just have launched a website which has got a blend of social media plus professional media: "http://www.startrating.com " i will only say that in here u can rate anyone, i mean any company, any location, or any company and write a review on them..and much more...rest i assure once u visit it..u will like it....
