Job Opportunity Potential

There is strong, double digit growth in this market at the moment, much of it at the expense of linear TV advertising, which declined in 2018 by over 10%.   E-commerce as a whole is a $2.3 trillion industry this year, enjoying double digit growth.  Students will gain valuable overview and insight into the field.

Already in Manchester there are hundreds of jobs in the field of e-commerce-driven content, since Manchester is a strong hub for e-commerce as a whole.  Channel 4 have stated that they are creating their Digital Production Unit in Leeds, with a thrust towards social and digital content.  The Hut Group are creating an e-commerce content production centre in Manchester.  BBC Sport and BBC iPlayer are both on site at MediaCityUK.
