What sort of route should I go along to get to work as a Branding Manager?
Was on a coffee talk with my friends, and just kinda lost after the chat. Being a brand designer now, a.k.a graphic designer, my career path is to work towards to the management level in years to come. But holding a diploma in Visual communication (Diploma in graphic design), with 1 year of design experience, what should i continue from here (in degree qualification?) for me to be able to obtain my ideal career (e.g A branding Manager, media buyer)
Would appreciate if experience people from all walks of life to enlighten me.
Thanks!
