The landscape of digital marketing has changed a great deal – and with changes come new challenges. In fact, 56% of marketers have struggled with acquiring the new skills and knowledge required to face said challenges. For many marketing departments, this means recruiting people with the power to allow agility within the department and build consistency for the brand across various platforms.
While individual superheroes can save the day, they are never more powerful than when they work as a team. Those Marvel Avengers are pretty unstoppable when they all work together!
The traditional marketing method relies on specialisation, however today’s super marketing team needs to be agile, connected and unified in a common goal.
So if you want to build a marketing organisation of the future, make sure you hire these superheroes …

Throw in Doctor Data’s additional SEO skills, which will help get your website ranked in Google and increase traffic, and you’ve got a serious superhero powerhouse.
