Do I need to get my MBA for a career in advertising?
It's absolutely not necessary.I can't think of anyone within my organization who has an MBA. That being said, as Carl Hartman wrote in his answer, marketing strategy expertise is extremely valuable. A marketing-focused MBA would be a nice credential to have, particularly from, say the Kellogg school that's typically regarded as the top (or one of the very top) MBA programs for marketing. But definitely not required - actual experience on your resume showing successful marketing of a product is probably more valuable.

Does having an honours degree make a big difference career wise in the marketing/advertising industry?
No it doesn't. What counts is experience and results. If you are still in a university (college), get an internship at an agency where you know you can get helpful real world experience at, not a place where you are just a glorified gopher for the boss. And when you are interning, collect contacts because they can be a valuable source for you in the future. Best of luck!
Would having a J.D. help with a career in marketing and advertising? If so, then how?
A law degree would be useful in any organisation, especially if corporate law forms part of the qualification. Every company draws up contracts for employees, board members, shareholders, suppliers, contractors, bank loans, investments, company terms and conditions, etc, etc.If you are interested in marketing and/or advertising and already have a law degree, then choose the organisation of interest to you and apply.If you haven’t started your law degree but you wish to combine the two disciplines, seek to specialise in corporate law. This would come in handy working in any organisation or industry. Company Secretaries (these are corporate lawyers in the UK) hold responsible and highly paid jobs and in large companies, they are often company directors, also.Job Search Success

I'm 40 making a career pivot. I want to finish my degree in advertising. Will hiring managers be concerned if I earned my degree online vs traditional?
I debated putting this in writing, but here is my relative estimation of degrees when considering a candidate:On-Campus Real College: Very MuchOff-Campus/Online Real College: SomeFor-Profit College (Any venue): Very littleNot fair, I know. But there you go.That said, for a mid-career professional -- even in a hard pivot -- your experience and demonstrated capability vastly outweigh education. If you show me how your skill set ports into advertising, then back it up with "I also jumped through the hoop of getting this degree to make it official," I respect that, even for a lesser degree or certification.Quantitative, operational, and a host of other skills directly apply from other industries into marketing activities, and I've seen a lot of skilled players come in via this route.If your vision is some sort of Darrin Stephens-esque "idea man", or if you're interested in the practical art side of the game you might want to reconsider. But everyone is always looking for solid operators.
