Christopher Ratcliff says, “As part of our Skills of the Modern Marketer research we set out to define the soft skills needed to be successful within an organisation coping with all the changes that digital transformation brings.

Although classic marketing skills are essential, these will have to be combined with more digitally focused skills – a natural gravitation towards collaborative work, adaptability, creativity, insights driven by data – in order to be well positioned within the broader organisation.

When we asked our respondents what were the most important soft skills that make them an effective marketer in the modern digital world, the top replies were the “the ability to embrace change” and the “ability to spot opportunities and adapt strategies quickly.”“.
