Typically the level of education in marketing goes from certificate to diploma to degree. At START Marketing, we’d be looking for people with a degree level of education. We would even encourage working towards a masters’ degree for higher level consulting. I suggest you check for transferability between the three levels at Mount Royal. It would make sense to get a certificate, if that also gets you halfway to a diploma. Likewise if a diploma gets you halfway to a degree. That way you can get credentials as-you-go instead of waiting a full 4 years to get a degree. Check out our Careers page for info on our Apprenticeship program…and read the column at the bottom of that page on Starting a Career in Marketing.

It’s funny, but we still get lots of calls from business who ask what our pricing is. Did you know that we actually have almost all of our pricing on this website? Check out the fees sections. There are set fees set for initial consultations, and fees to create a marketing plan (which always vary based on the complexity of your business – so we can only give a range until we meet with you and determine your needs) and then fees for implementing your marketing plan….such as costs for logos, ad creation, website development, sales training, etc. Within this website, it even tells you how much you “should” spend on marketing. We really aimed to make things open and honest – as we’ve nothing to hide – and we like our prospects to know what to expect. Let us know what you think anytime!
