1. How could I get in touch with industry professionals?
Once again, I feel as though one of the main ways to get into contacts with different marketing teams / marketing professionals will be through the use of social media platforms such as Twitter.

2. What questions could I ask them?
How did you first get into (digital?) marketing?

When creating a new marketing campaign, what do you look into / what does the planning consist of?

Are there any dos and don'ts to marketing? / Is there anything in particular you try / avoid showing to show to the audience when creating marketing pieces?

3. How else can I find out about jobs in the industry and learn what it is like to be in those jobs?
Social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, as different companies quite often use platforms to advertise jobs. Additionally, there are other websites that list jobs that have been listed / uploaded by the companies, and then there are also apprenticeship websites, with various different apprenticeships for marketing and media/design.
