by Digital Marketing Institute

“Marketers agree that tech alone is not the harbinger of the marketing future. The combination of tech and talent is key to future success” Mina Seetharaman,EVP, Chief Strategy and Creative Officer, The Economist Group

As digital experiences lie at the heart of marketing, marketers are struggling to keep pace with consumer technologies and demands, and a pervasive talent gap continues to derail success.

This talent gap includes digital experiences, marketing experiences as well as soft skills.
