As marketing becomes increasingly influenced by tech, it’s also beneficial to possess digital skills. Experience in martech - such as CRM tools, UX, UI, data analysis, web design, front-end web development and marketing automation - may no longer be just a competitive edge, but a necessity for many roles.
You don’t necessarily need any qualifications to get into marketing, but they can be beneficial in such a competitive industry. Holding a relevant undergraduate degree that demonstrates your communications skills – such as English or philosophy – can help you break into your first role.
Alternatively, you may wish to study for a qualification from an accredited body, such as the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), which offers both certificates and diplomas in marketing.
However, proven experience is arguably more important than any form of qualification. Building a portfolio of work – whether it be paid or not – can be used to demonstrate your abilities and overall desire to succeed in a marketing communications role.
Technology is one of the dominating marketing trends. Customer journeys are becoming increasingly bespoke and interactive to differentiate from the competition, requiring advanced digital methods.
For example, the emergence of AI-driven marketing solutions has led to more sophisticated chatbots capable of heightened interactions, as well as improved natural language processing (NLP), able to create marketing copy that will attract a specific audience.
Marketing trends inevitably come and go but being aware of them can give you an advantage over other candidates during interview stages and throughout your entire career.
