Occupational fields

The professional field of media manager has changed a lot in recent years. Mainly due to digitization, but also due to the increasing convergence of markets, new areas of responsibility have been added. The field of media management can therefore no longer be assigned to a special media area, but requires graduates to be highly adaptable and transferring skills.

In general, media managers develop solutions for successful media marketing of products. This can be advertising, but also entertainment and information media. Therefore, media managers initially appear as market researchers who can competently analyze the current situation and understand how it works. You then design project plans and strategies to position the product to be conveyed, to make it known and to maintain its awareness.

Products and projects that media managers market can be found in all media areas, such as film and television, radio and print, but also online media. That is why media managers work in publishing houses, broadcasters, advertising agencies, or in the marketing departments of companies. Positions in public relations or at market research institutes are also possible. Last but not least, software companies are possible employers.

Due to the different specializations offered in the course, students can already make an initial orientation within this broad field. In the “Media Journalism” specialization, students get to know the areas of sales and marketing by deepening aspects of Web Content Distribution, Web 4.0 and Dynamic Web Application. Here you have a special insight into the professional field of online marketing, advertising and the distribution of journalistic content. In the "Media Production" course, on the other hand, you receive an overview of film and TV production and screenwriting and are therefore more likely to be prepared for a position in the field of generating media content. The "eSports and Games Marketing" specialization offers students extensive technical and practical insight into the development and marketing of games and the implementation of eSports events. In “Media and Economics”, on the other hand, they are made familiar with overarching strategies of corporate management and international management in order to take on management positions in media companies, project management activities in the field of media sales or responsible positions in media marketing.

Although the specializations thus enable the professional field to be concretized, the students are instructed with regard to a broad range of competencies, so that they can be confronted with different positions and different tasks, as well as market and advertise cross-media products.
