Due to the speedy rate of technological change, the skills gap remains wide within the marketing industry. Digital marketing has become one the hottest and most sought after skills-sets, with industry research suggesting that salaries for professionals in the field are set to rise rapidly in the next three years.
To stay competitive, marketers need to make sure that their skills are up-to-date and align with the needs of the industry.
Valentina Borbone, co-founder of Zuni, a boutique digital consultancy in Sydney and ADMA IQ instructor, couldn’t agree more.
“As I prepare the content updates for this year’s Digital Marketing Certificate, I find myself digesting more than 100 digital changes that have made the ‘must-know’ shortlist this year. It’s vital in the current market to keep your skills sharpened as the technologies, platforms, tactics and measures of success are changing beneath our feet," she says.
