Dear Cite Contribution,

Thank you so much for the valuable information and helpful sites. I have a few confusions. In advertising, a team is developed according to the account they have. So, how can a Campaign Development Specialist coordinate, since each account is like a campaign for them? Is it helpful to keep a Campaign Development Specialist in addition?

Title and Designation Confusion

Can the title "supervisor" coincide with the designation? I am confused; isn't "supervisor" used for assistant-level positions?

I am really obliged that there is a title like "web strategist." I am really thankful to you. The information and articles have given me more insight into advertising jobs and functions. As discussed in articles, an advertising company is creative and has good scope for talented people, but designations and remunerations play a key role. However, I guess advertising can provide incentives and benefits that would ensure financial security as well as a good remuneration package for the employees.

Looking for feedback.

Regards,
