The modern marketer is here and the traditional marketer is on their way out. What does that mean for your team? It means that the new digital marketer is dynamic. They have skill sets that cross over from creative to technical and from strategy to design. Evaluate your current team, project needs, and budget - and when adding depth, look for a mix of these 4 essential skills from your employees.
ANALYTICS & DATA Data drives strategy and strategy steers the vision. Forward thinking digital marketing companies are using data analytics to understand customer behavior and increase website traffic and ROI.
MOBILE & WEB DEVELOPMENTAs technology makes its way into marketing,
developmental skills like basic coding and video and web production are valuable assets to the team. The ability to build out projects from the
ground up, both technically and creatively, is critical to keeping up with the pace of marketing.
SOCIAL MEDIA A social strategy is the best way to be on the front lines of communication with customers. Social is one of the first touch points a consumer has with a company, and if you can get in early by listening
to wants and needs of current or potential customers, you will be ahead of the competition.
CONTENT DESIGN & CREATION Original content is what drives native marketing and advertising. It plays a major role in customer engagement strategy. Content creation requires an in-depth understanding of who the customers are and what they need, and the materials and design must captivate the customer.

OPERATIONS
FUEL UP AND HIT THE GASMondo predicts the workforce mix will be 1:1 freelance to permanent in the next 3-5 years. These are the top 5 drivers, from Mondo’s latest digital marketing survey, for hiring a freelance digital marketing workforce:
1. Flexibility to turn resources on and off
2. Access to experts and hard to find talent
3. Seasonal or unforeseen project needs
4. Ability to try before you buy
5. Productivity
The need to have a little wiggle room is satisfying for everyone. Like being cramped in the backseat for a cross-country road trip, having a team that doesn’t fit your needs can be equally uncomfortable. The elastic workforce gives the comfort in expertise for your team without the need to buy that minivan. An extension of your crew can be the fuel you need for your project.
THE ELASTIC WORKFORCE™
Keeping those who make your world go ‘round happy is a must. So how do you ensure you not only keep your top talent in their seats but still allow them to flourish within your company walls? These 4 best practices will keep your top performers happy, healthy, and hungry for more.
THE RIGHT CREW FOR A SMOOTH RIDE
Allow employees to see the employer investing in their time and knowledge. Letting them further their career path while having real-time impacts from knowledge gained outside of the workplace.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
First and foremost, recognize the talent. Good employees know their worth and need to feel like their company is on their side.
RECOGNITION
Employees are looking for a flexible work environment with financial, health, and social benefits. It’s key to keep employees prosperous, healthy, and happy in their day-to-day lives.
PERKS
