marketing= number crunching

advertising= demographic crunching

If you don't even know the difference then no, you don't have the brain for that sorta stuff.

And if you can't even bother googling then you're going to flunk out anyway...

marketing tells the advertising people who they should focus on

marketing is the umbrella in which advertising belongs under.

Look it up.


They are both totally different things. And I'm sorry but I have to totally agree with Mr Mistery on this one.

I realize you may not know what the differences are but at least try to look it up ffs :P


google and wiki can be your friends.

so i figured out (no thanks to yous) that advertising is the artsy shit..i figured so

marketing is following trends and what not and they tell the engineers to do what they think they should do..etc.

i wonder if i should go to school /thinks

Knowing your reputation with education... don't even bother.

Advertising deals with getting a companies message across to their target audience on a certain product or service.

Marketing's job is to identify the needs and wants of consumers and satisfy them.

I'd take marketing if I were, since it's a little more broad and you'll take advertising as part of marketing anyways. Be prepared to do lots of presentations though.
