New LinkedIn Data Shows the Top Digital Marketing Skills Currently in High Demand

So how can you get ahead, and ensure that your skills match those that companies are seeking?

LinkedIn says that while ‘digital marketing’ as a term is in-demand, there are many elements within that which are often overlooked.

While many marketers list themselves as digital marketing specialists, recruiters are currently having trouble finding marketers with skills in digital strategy, Omniture, link building, search advertising, and off-page SEO.

It may well be worth skilling up in more specific areas, or better highlighting such within your profile, in order to improve your prospects and meet specific market demand for expertise.

By learning the required skills, you can better match your LinkedIn profile listings to meet these elements of demand, and ensure that your profile stands out in any job application.

Half of the top 10 most posted job listings on LinkedIn are in the digital or media space, and as economic activity ramps up as we move beyond the pandemic, that will open up a range of new opportunities which could change your career trajectory.
