"People often forget American Express and McKinsey when they think of marketing, but their data-driven consumer insights are next level. It’s not just about catchy ads anymore; it’s about the 'Science' of the sale. If you’re a quant-heavy marketer, these should be at the top of your list."

P&G and Unilever still holding the top spots. In the MBA world, these are basically the 'academies' of marketing. If you spend 2 years here, you’re set for life in terms of fundamentals. I wonder if the shift towards Amazon and Google for marketing roles is because of better pay, or if the actual 'marketing' work is more exciting there now?"
