A Marketing Assistant helps a marketing team build and run campaigns, make content, and share results. The role is a clear entry point to marketing work in Australia.
Key duties include market research, content creation, social media, and campaign support. Assistants also do admin tasks such as CRM updates and results reporting.
Most employers now want strong digital skills. Knowing tools such as Google Analytics, HubSpot, and Adobe Creative Suite is a plus in most roles.
Marketing Assistants often move to Coordinator or Specialist roles as they grow. The broader advertising and marketing professionals group has strong future demand in Australia (yourcareer.gov.au, 2025).
