Do you work in digital marketing? You're in the right place.

For years now, I have watched the demand for digital marketing talent increase year over year, and it's not going away any time soon. My husband, brother, most of my friends, and I work in digital marketing, and we all love what we do. 

Mondo just put out a study of b-to-b and b-to-c companies called "The Future of Digital Marketing." According to the study, 80% of companies will increase their digital marketing budgets in the next year, but the study highlights talent as a critical area of growth this time around.

One challenge that has been very prominent for digital marketers is the hiring of great talent, and companies are finally getting the budget to do that... It is a candidate’s market, particularly in digital marketing.

Top skill sets include:

  • Digital/social (54%)
  • Content creation (44%)
  • Big data/analytics (33%)
  • Mobile strategy (30%)

This study also highlighted the high demand for video marketing talent. We recently dedicated a full-time video marketing resource to my digital team, so I know this is important. 

Video will increase as a key driver of customer engagement from 13% today to 61% in the future; and social will increase from 38% today to 49% in the future.
