This qualification reflects the role of individuals who use well-developed advertising skills and a broad knowledge base in a wide variety of advertising contexts. They apply solutions to a defined range of unpredictable problems, and analyse and evaluate information from a variety of sources. They may provide leadership and guidance to others with some limited responsibility for the output of others, however they typically report to a more senior advertising practitioner. Graduates can expect to be able to apply for jobs as account coordinator; art director; assistant account planner; copywriter; or in the media as an assistant buyer or planner.
