The Value of a CIM Qualification
There is no doubt that the marketing sector is experiencing a skills shortage, particularly when it comes to digital skills.
One study found that while 73% of organisations are recruiting, many are struggling to find suitable people (Chartered Institute of Marketing, 2023).
A report published by MCS Group (Sept 2024) reports that the most in-demand skills include strategic marketing, data analytics, customer experience, customer retention and SEO.
If you are a marketing executive or manager, keen to move up the career ladder, or refresh your skills and knowledge, then a CIM qualification is an ideal choice.
