Comic book marketing is a lot of fun - you get to see and hear about tons of stuff long before anyone else is aware of it, and you get to hang with editors and other creative types, and if you’re lucky you get that expenses-paid trip to San Diego for CCI each year. Or was that just me?

DC Comics - referred to in the listing as DC Entertainment - is looking for a Marketing Representative for Sales, Marketing & Business Development for their New York office.

You’ll get to write digital solicitation copy via coordinating with DC’s west coast office, support the Marketing Manager “in the planning and implementing of all digital marketing initiatives,” make sure the Online Department is promoting the right stuff on the right websites and “social networking sites,” and a bunch of other digital marketing strategies and initiatives.

Why the digital marketing office is in New York while the entire digital department is in Burbank is one of corporate life’s mysteries that you may eventually figure out on your own. But a really smart person could figure out a way to rack up the now-almost-useless frequent flier miles.

A college degree in journalism, marketing or public relations is “preferred but not required,” but at least of year of writing/marketing experience is “strongly preferred.”

And since this is a marketing position for a corporation that’s moving into digital at a rapid clip, apparently no experience in web-based communication or marketing is required. Go figure.

Now get that resume pumped up and sent over there! Digital is the place to be!

Good luck, job seekers!
