Donna-Marie Bohan says, “At Marketing Week Live last week I listened to panellists speak about the skills required for today’s modern marketer and their advice for career progression. 

In today’s business landscape we are witnessing a transforming job market. How are marketing roles and responsibilities going to change and develop in the future? How does the human element of brand building evolve in a world of emerging technology?

These are some of the questions that concern us as modern marketers grappling with a fast-moving and uncertain environment.

Data from The Marketing Society shows that the average tenure of CMOs in the UK stands at just 18 months. All this means that marketers are having to work even harder to prove their worth to the board. With zero-based budgeting and increasing pressure to prove ROI on marketing spend now commonplace, the onus is on marketers to show how marketing affects the business bottom line and how it ultimately drives a business forward.

A shift in how marketing operates means that finding and nurturing the right talent is often difficult”.
