Media&Com in LSE or international marketing in King's?

Hello guys, I have been struggling for almost a month and I have to make a decision soon to get my accommodation in London so need some suggestions. I graduated last year with a degree in advertising. But now considering whether I should switch to a marketing major since I believe it is better connected with my previous degree. Now two offers enter my final round:
Media & Communication in LSE
International marketing in King's
I was deeply attracted by the reputation of LSE but want to jump into my master's program in marketing to help me have a better range of job opportunities. Any experience or suggestion is welcome, thank you!

Hey, what are you planning then? LSE or King's?

What evidence do you have that getting Masters degree will help?

What are your career ambitions, those courses will take you in different directions and the point of specialising at a Masters is to narrow down options, not broaden them.
The reputation LSE has is primarily for IR and Maths/Economics - think about reputation only if it matters specifically in your professional area - in this case I doubt it does, but your research may show differently.

Basically, you need to explore the academic profiles of 1st and second role graduates and see how they got into those roles. Company websites and LinkedIn.
