About Us
Since 1945, U-Haul has been serving do-it-yourself movers and their households. Like many other successful ventures, the concept for U-Haul was generated out of need. After World War II, there existed the widespread need for do-it-yourself moving equipment that would be available on a one-way, nationwide basis.
U-Haul co-founders L.S. "Sam" Shoen and his wife, Anna Mary Carty Shoen, recognized that need and acted upon it. Their visionary approach spread the cost of ownership among many users, facilitating the mobility of the populations of the U.S. and Canada. The covered wagon of the pioneers morphed into orange U-Haul trailers. In the process, an industry was born.
U-Haul Holding Company and its family of companies, including U-Haul, have strived to create a culture of health and wellness. As of February 1, 2020, and consistent with applicable law, no U-Haul Holding Company or its family of companies will hire individuals in states where it may lawfully decline to hire individuals who use nicotine products (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and Washington). This policy will not apply to team members hired before February 1, 2020.

Marketing Executive Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a marketing executive in Illinois?
Marketing executives in Illinois are not required to hold a state-issued license, so the path runs through education and experience. Most Illinois employers expect a bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, or business as a baseline. From there, candidates build toward executive-level roles through progressive responsibility in campaign management, brand strategy, or digital marketing, often earning industry credentials such as Google Analytics certifications or HubSpot qualifications along the way.
How much do marketing executives make in Illinois?
Marketing executives in Illinois earn a median of about $162,860 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $95,990 for the lowest 10% to over $276,340 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire marketing executives in Illinois?
Employers hiring marketing executives in Illinois right now include JPMorganChase, U-Haul, and Salesforce, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Illinois's concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters, particularly in the consumer goods, financial services, and healthcare sectors, means the state consistently produces senior marketing roles across both established corporations and fast-growing regional brands.
Which Illinois cities have the most marketing executive jobs?
Chicago, Godfrey, and Bloomington have the most marketing executive openings in Illinois. Chicago dominates because of its dense concentration of corporate headquarters, agency networks, and media companies, while the north suburban Rosemont and Schaumburg corridor draws demand from large employers in hospitality, retail, and professional services who maintain regional offices outside the city proper.
Are there remote marketing executive jobs in Illinois?
Yes, and more than most fields, since marketing executive work is desk-based and output-driven rather than tied to a physical location. About 100% of marketing executive openings tied to Illinois are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how broadly the profession has adopted flexible arrangements. Strategic, analytical, and content-focused roles tend to offer the most location flexibility, while positions requiring regular client entertainment or in-person agency oversight lean toward hybrid schedules.
How can I get hired as a marketing executive in Illinois with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a coordinator or associate marketing role at one of Illinois's large consumer brands or agencies, which regularly hire candidates without deep experience. Companies like Kraft Heinz and Morningstar run rotational or associate programs that place new graduates across marketing functions. Adjacent roles in sales operations, content creation, or market research are also common stepping stones. Building a portfolio of campaign results, even from internships or freelance projects, gives Illinois hiring managers something concrete to evaluate.
