Marketing Jobs at HSP Direct

P.S. Drop out of that Political Science Program

When I talk to college students who want to work in conservative politics, I tell them to drop out of their political science program.

The reason is pretty simple, most entry-level and mid-level political jobs simply don’t care about your political science degree. Even if you’re really exceptional when it comes to political theory or policy, the focus will be on your experience.

Political Science is rarely a marketable skill.

Do you know what is always a marketable skill?

Marketing

Most political jobs are actually some variation of traditional or digital marketing.

Video Production

Copywriting

Graphic Design

Data Management

Social Media

Campaign Management

Small Donor Fundraising

Media Strategist

Email Coordinator

Direct Mail Operations

Don’t get me wrong. We definitely need operations staff, high dollar fundraising, and exceptional legal teams. If you’re specialized in something else, there’s nothing wrong with that.

But, the largest year-round employers are marketing firms. 

For example, HSP Direct is currently hiring multiple positions:

1. Political Account Manager, HSP Direct | Ashburn, VA

2. Account Management Assistant, HSP Direct | Ashburn, VA

3. Copywriter, HSP Direct | Ashburn, VA 

If you think about it, all organizations rely on effective communication to donors, legislators. media, and the people our causes work to help.

Whether you’re entering college or preparing for your next role, this is an industry worth considering- and the opportunities are plentiful.
