Progress your career with the CIM
Chartered Marketer status is awarded by the Chartered Institute of Marketing in recognition of achievement in practical experience and expertise.
It can only be held by Full Members (MCIM) or Fellows (FCIM) who complete the required Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in a calendar year.
Having Chartered Marketer status demonstrates that you practise the highest professional marketing standards by keeping your marketing knowledge and skills current.
The benefit to you
As a Chartered Marketer you should gain more credibility with employers, and a competitive edge over your peers, helping you to progress your career more effectively. Only The Chartered Institute of Marketing can award Chartered Marketer status to a marketer. We campaign with employers to recognise this status as the benchmark for highly skilled marketers. As a consultant in the marketing arena, Chartered Marketer status can demonstrate ongoing commitment and competency to your clients.
The benefit to your employer
Many marketers have a relevant marketing qualification, but Chartered Marketers must ensure that they maintain and develop the currency of their marketing skills and knowledge. Chartered Marketer status is an effective measurement of business competency and expertise, which will ultimately contribute to better business performance. It is also a reassurance that the marketer will be ethical, experienced and can demonstrate first class marketing skills to give you improved business advantage.
