A lot of marketing, content and analytics roles ask for work samples. If you are still a student or career changer, what should a portfolio include when you do not have official sports clients?
SPMA provides a practical starting answer. Add first-hand experience, a different perspective or a useful example from the industry.
Build work that demonstrates the skill, even if nobody hired you to create it. A marketing portfolio could include a campaign brief, sample content calendar, sponsorship activation idea and post-campaign measurement plan. An analytics portfolio could answer a real business question using public data. A media portfolio could include writing, editing, short-form video or an interview package. Clearly label speculative work as a self-directed project so nobody mistakes it for client work. The goal is to show how you think, how you execute and how you evaluate the result, not to pretend you already have a professional-team logo on your resume.
