They do any and everything within the law and sometimes outside ethics to sell products and/or services. Marketing can be good or evil. Some do the right thing... Depending on the product or the organization the marketing department can be one person or a huge staff. Coordinating the people and resources is very important. They need creative ways to bring attention to the product and cause the consumer to buy it. They can be sophisticated or down right gorilla with enticing people to buy a product but at the end of the day, their evaluation is easy to determine. --How many widgets did we sell?

Varies depending upon the type of organisation and industry. Some could be real marketeers but be called business development, etc. Also depends upon the level, so marketing managers manage! Some large mkt depts wiill have in-house graphic department so have designers, writers etc working there. There is an argument that says we all market (represent) the company/organisation we work for, and marekting facilitates this.
Traditional marketing activity beaks into the 4P's model (or some say 7p's), and if you dont know what they are, you need to go away and find out or ask your local marketing person!

They coordinate efforts to convince consumers that they desperately need whatever product the firm produces, moreover that they should be willing to pay whatever the firm charges plus the retailer's markup.
The practice should be banned, I tell ya! It's wrong to manipulate the stupid and gullible! Now where did I put my razr phone...
