Maybe you?re just starting out in the marketing field. Perhaps you?re going back to school and you?d like to study marketing. Or maybe you?re young enough that you don?t know what it is you want to do yet, but you?d like to study business.
In general, there is a movement towards specialization in new areas, where companies are looking for experts in very specific types of marketing.
Here are some of the marketing positions that will be in the highest demand in the coming years.
1. Marketing/Data Analyst
The amount of data on customers and potential customers is growing. Companies find themselves in need of someone on the marketing team that can parse through this data, find important trends, and develop ways to use these trends to improve marketing performance. Skills required include technological know-how, reporting skills, statistics, presentation, and marketing strategy.
2. Social Media Marketing/Community Manager
Companies are still figuring out how to get the most out of social media. Many companies for the first time in 2012 had positions with social media in the title. What they are looking for is someone who can get involved at the ground level and build a social media program that gets people excited about and interacting with the brand in new ways, generating strong word of mouth and press. Skills required are a deep understanding of social media, written communication, and creative thinking.
3. Marketing Development
More and more marketing teams are looking to hire marketers with design and development experience. In time, this will be a requirement for many marketing positions. This is a cross-over role between IT and marketing, someone who can build tools, apps, and websites with a marketing-first strategy. Skills include graphic design, web development, and marketing strategy.
4. Conversion Specialist
Companies are relying more and more on online sales to grow and succeed. At the most granular level, this means converting more website visitors into paying customers. A conversion specialist is someone who can take ownership of this one task and continually analyze and test new ways to increasing the conversion rate. Skills required are reporting, strategy, ecommerce, and analytics.
5. Marketing Research
The need for companies to communicate with consumers is at an all time high. Lucky for them, it?s easier to get feedback from customers than ever before. A marketing researcher is someone who can organize focus groups, conduct surveys, and solicit feedback in many other ways in order to help improve the efficiency of the company?s marketing plan. Skills include communication, reporting and analytics, and marketing strategy.
