In the latest episode, we explore marketing’s skills gap problem, from effectiveness to social media.
Recent data from Marketing Week’s 2025 Career & Salary Survey revealed marketing effectiveness is the major core marketing skills gap.
Three in five (60.5%) of the more than 3,500 respondents identified knowledge of marketing effectiveness as a skills gap within their business.
In this episode of The Marketing Week Podcast, deputy managing editor Charlotte Rogers, senior reporter Molly Innes and senior reporter Niamh Carroll discuss why effectiveness is such a pronounced skills gap, as well diving into the other skills gaps marketers identified, including social media.
We are joined by Rachel Moss, head of marketing strategy at National Lottery licensee Allywn, who expresses her surprise at marketing effectiveness being the biggest perceived skills gap and questions the industry’s understanding of effectiveness beyond advertising.
