We all have one or more job titles and a set of skills. However, which flavour sweets are in demand, and which are going out of \u2018flavour\u2019?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What evidence do you have that this is the case?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The GoCareer Insights platform uses natural language processing and artificial intelligence to scan over 17 million CVs and millions of job adverts, across sectors, every day and can support decision making in the public and private sectors.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>So, what is that showing us?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Looking at a snapshot of the skills on marketers\u2019 CVs in Q3 2019 for the whole of the UK, it\u2019s no surprise to see digital, social media and online making up a significant proportion of the skills out<br \/>\nthere. However, we found significant differences between London and the UK regions &#8211; the London market swamps the UK regions in terms of both job adverts and marketing professionals.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6451\" src=\"https:\/\/hyperlink-technology.com\/nesma\/wp-content\/uploads\/Graph.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"336\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There is another crucial difference. We searched job adverts for the top 30 marketing job title clusters in London and the South East but found only four of these marketing job clusters in the North East of England and five in Scotland. There was a similar picture in CV data with the North West fairing a little better with nine clusters, and the West Midlands with eight.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Back to the sweets. What\u2019s in demand and what\u2019s not?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We looked at around 5,000 marketing job adverts which mentioned digital and compared their market share of job adverts in the first half of 2019 at the same time in 2018.<\/p>\n<h3>Emerging:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Statistical analysis skills such as SSIS, SSRS, and SSAS jumped 15-fold (0.4% of total 2019<br \/>\nmarket compared with 0.026% in 2018)<\/li>\n<li>Software development as a skill for marketers jumped tenfold (0.026% in 2018 to 0.28% of<br \/>\nthe total market in 2019)<\/li>\n<li>Employee engagement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>On the up:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Facebook marketing<\/li>\n<li>Artificial Intelligence<\/li>\n<li>Software consulting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>On a level:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Amazon Web Services<\/li>\n<li>Online travel<\/li>\n<li>Service management<\/li>\n<li>Online advertising<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>On the decline:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Twitter<\/li>\n<li>Photoshop<\/li>\n<li>Salesforce<\/li>\n<li>AP<\/li>\n<li>Marketing Automation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The big story here is the emergence of the statistical analysis tools in job adverts for marketers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, what can people already working or wanting to work in marketing do to keep themselves employable for the future?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is an opportunity here; if you\u2019re a marketer in the North East then look at the skills swing above \u2013 you don\u2019t have to be in Soho to have the most marketable sweets in your sweetie jar and we are seeing great examples of this across the North East marketing landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure your qualifications are not only up to date but ensure you are also able to embrace the digital technology aspects of emerging roles and don\u2019t limit your job search to marketing or communications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you have time to have a cuppa with Veronica, please get in touch.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veronica does a monthly interview with key members of the nesma network to discuss their marketing challenges or insights into the industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6450,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[352,133],"class_list":["post-6448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-gocareer","tag-marketing-skills"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How does your sweetie jar look? - nesma<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Veronica does a monthly interview with key members of the nesma network to discuss their marketing challenges or insights into the industry.
