Marketing Coordinator - Marketing Coordinator Parade Media Employee Review

really great place to work with a great team

nothing bad to say really

If you are in sales this is the place for you. If you are in editorial save yourself the misery.

Absolutely no wall whatsoever between editorial and advertising departments. Company is completely run by the sales department-- meaning ALL editorial content must be approved by sales department, cover photos selected by sales department, story emphasis and features directed by the sales department. Example: if a pharmaceutical company buys ad space then directives come down from management to do a story on the disease that the drug is used on. You would not believe the number of stories on cold/flu, gout, COPD, etc., etc., etc.! These ad promised stories replaced the real stories on real people and real places. The company brand used to be celebrating what makes American great, now it is they will do ANY STORY on ANYTHING if you will buy an ad. The only thing sales hasn't told editorial to do is plant a flag on the moon. Amazing thing is they still have serious problems selling ads.
