    Hi Debi,
    Frankly speaking to get into Market research and analysis the more appropriate would be MBA in Marketing as that gives you ample chances to enter the field of Market research. However with the mass communication degree you can try getting into it as Mass communication definitely gives you excess to fields like advertising, media, marketing etc.

    Hi Debi,

    Another good option for you can be Advertising and PR, as a PR is considered as the face of the organizing and is responsible for getting business for the organisation so AD and PR can surely fetch you a good opportunity with a production house.
