 Are you majoring in Digital media or maybe thinking of doing it? If you are unsure let us tell you that a career in digital media is much sought after. 

Digital media is a field that is becoming more in demand with the advancement in technology. So if you have a passion and a calling for creating digital simulations, images and animation then it is the field for you. In order to make up your mind, I would recommend you to learn how to get started and what jobs you can consider. In this article, you will learn how to start a career in digital media and potential careers in this industry.

How to begin your career in digital media

Digital media create content by making use of technologies like the internet and electronic technology including audio, video, websites, social media, and video games.  digital media, in its broadest sense, refers to any kind of content that must be created, distributed, and viewed using electronic devices. There are a number of exciting opportunities to pursue as the industry continues to expand.

Below you will find steps that you can follow to begin your career in digital media:

Step 1: Learn the Basic

The initial step in any profession should be to educate oneself on the basics. It is crucial to understand the key elements of digital media. To be able to work in this sector, you must be able to use a variety of tools, technologies, and techniques because there are several different media channels. A bachelor’s degree is a requirement for most jobs in digital media. However, if you have digital skills, like coding, multimedia design and programming that can also give you an edge if you don’t have a college degree.

Best Universities to Study Digital Media

  • University of Connecticut, USA
  • University of Portsmouth, UK
  • Arizona State University, USA
  • London Metropolitan University, UK
  • Northeastern University, USA

Step 2: Become a Social Media Expert

Digital and social are two sides of the same coin. Without becoming knowledgeable in a variety of topics, including search engine optimization (SEO), Google Ads, and various social media platforms and applications, one cannot pursue a career in digital media. No matter which area of digital media you choose to work in, you must have a deep understanding of how viewers behave as well as relevant hard and soft skills if you want to be able to manage any responsibilities that come your way.

Step 3: Create an Online Portfolio

A crucial element is building an online portfolio. Create a portfolio online by developing it. It can be in a form of a website or blog. Although you can make your portfolio on a free hosting website, it is preferable to have a customised domain name. The field of digital media is more of a practical than a theoretical one. Your website allows you to practise the many techniques you’ve learnt even before you start working with clients. Many clients look beyond certification when selecting people for digital media employment, so having a well-ranked website is a plus.

Step 4: Get an Internship

The quickest and most effective way of enhancing and improving your skills and gain experience is to look for internship opportunities at reputable agencies. You will have the chance to learn more about the best practices in different digital media careers as an intern. The majority of agencies provide students with the chance to complete internships, hence you can start one while you’re a student.

Step 5: Stay up to date on the New Trends

Digital media is an ever-evolving field, so in order to stay relevant in your career, you need to stay up to date. Nearly every day, new tools and technologies are developed. So, in order to keep up with this rapidly changing landscape, it is therefore advisable to prepare yourself for lifelong learning, regardless of the type of digital media career you choose.

Top Career Pathways in Digital Media Industry

One of the best career paths for a creative person is digital media! The digital media industry is gigantic and there are various career pathways one can opt for. Here are some of the top career options in digital media.

Graphic Designer

The visual aesthetic is crucial for establishing compelling and engaging digital presences. A graphic designer’s responsibility is to make an organisation’s visual assets appealing. The work of a graphic designer is critical to marketing and advertising efforts.

The job market for graphic designer jobs in computer and related fields is expected to grow and the average salary of a graphic designer is around $54,007, with the highest salary being approximately $89,210.

Web Design Specialist 

The work of web designers goes beyond aesthetics, they must ensure that the website is both technically sound and aesthetically pleasing. Web developers have a broad understanding of various computer languages and work closely with others to develop websites, applications and more. 

Data collected from Indeed.com shows that an average annual salary of a person that has less than 1 year of experience is around $67,055 and with 3 to 5 years of experience you can earn $74,603 annually.

Digital Media Specialist

An expert in charge of producing material for multiple platforms that will draw in new clients and keep existing ones interested is known as a digital media specialist. These people make certain a business remains relevant to offer its services through advertising campaigns and following notable trends.

According to indeed.com, the average income for digital marketing is $47,278. However, there is room for growth, with experience you can earn up to $67,000.

User Interface Designer

User interface designers typically make $84,244 per year on average, with more specialised positions paying up to $93,000. The career requires you to be well versed in programming skills, as well as a working knowledge of software development and user interface, to succeed in this line of work. You will get to design all the visuals that a user sees on a website, app, or video game.

User Experience Designer

User interface design and usability are two concepts that are sometimes used interchangeably with UX design or User Experience Design. The complete process of obtaining and integrating a product is what a UX designer is concerned with. This covers elements related to branding, design, usability, function, and function for a website or app.

User experience designers with experience of 1 to 2 years can earn up to $83,000 and with experience of 3 to 5 years, they can earn $116,663 annually.

Don’t sell yourself short! If you have an eye for aesthetics and have experience in coding, multimedia and programming you are surely in for a treat. Having these skills is much-coveted in the digital media world. So, apply to any of the jobs that are mentioned above or do your own research and if you are just getting started then there’s no better time than the present to enter the world of digital media.
