You’ll quickly discover, even though you have the necessary qualifications for the role, it’s an eagerness to learn the finer aspects of digital marketing that’s going to be your trump card.
The digital marketing industry grows faster and bigger than Granny Ina’s dumplings – which is why competitive businesses actively seek out those motivated by innovation, who are never tired of pinpointing new trends and love to use just-out-of-its-box technology.
In fact, we’d put showing a hunger for knowledge as the number one way to show your love and get your foot in the door . . . if it wasn’t for its twin super-power: intuition.
It’s one thing knowing the mechanics of creating the perfect digital marketing mix, such as launching email and social media initiatives while in tandem promoting search and paid advertising.
But it takes natural instinct to craft bespoke campaigns that can adapt and evolve to suit the changing needs of a client or the rollercoaster moves of the market.
Show you’re an intuitive planner and natural problem solver and you’re head and shoulders above your rivals.
Moving beyond these important qualities, the best companies will also expect you to own a broad range of marketing skills to reach the widest audience – while simultaneously honing an in-depth knowledge of one or two specialties.
Marketing loves its buzzwords and phat phrases and so this is often referred to as T-Shaped Marketing.
The cross bar is where you have your ‘Cross-Discipline Competence’ and the single upright is your ‘Deep Discipline Expertise’.
Don’t worry too much about the jargon though. Essentially it comes down to being a fab all-rounder and a wizard in key areas, such as overseeing the company’s website and social media platforms.
Of course, being a specialist means you should never be afraid to channel your inner nerd. Digital marketing is technical and data-driven and often you’ll find yourself communicating your strategy to a team of software developers or web designers responsible for actioning your recommendations.
Finally, do you get the big picture?
Even the smallest companies can have separate departments for areas such as media buying, copywriting and SEO.
This means the best digital marketing executive never works in a vacuum but understands every element of the company’s online marketing strategy and plays a unique role in achieving wider, long-term goals
To do this effectively, you need to be an excellent communicator, willing to try new ideas and thrive under pressure.
