Key Insights: Building a career as a modern marketer

  • Broadcast: Thursday 11 July 2019
  • Scott Allen

Modern marketing can often mean different things to different people. However, one thing is clear: the marketing team of today is different to how it used to be and is now about two types of persona: scientist and creative. If you put those two together, that’s when you’re closer to becoming a modern marketer. Clearly there are certain skills you require when you think about roles within a modern marketing team.  But what about your personal development and growth? What you should be doing to transform as a marketer?

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • What does being a modern marketer really mean
  • How to start a successful marketing career
  • What a typical marketeer’s top 5 KPIs would be
  • When to move to a more strategic role
  • The value of mentoring.
