Media and advertising background image

Media and advertising

Advertising professionals work for specialist advertising agencies, marketing consultancies or in-house marketing departments at larger organisations. Media companies span the traditional publishers, news outlets, and TV and radio broadcasters, but roles can increasingly be found with technology companies and retailers as they need people to communicate compellingly online.

While the BBC retains its top spot, the top three is no longer held by all broadcasters. Instead, a new entrant in the form of The Walt Disney Company takes second spot. There is still a strong presence of book publishers, with Penguin Random House keeping its spot in fourth.
