Southeast Asia, as we gradually transcend into a post-COVID era. In fact, a recent salary guide by recruitment company Hays showed that digitally-skilled marketers across APAC are getting paid significantly more than traditional marketers. In Singapore specifically, digital marketers are earning at SG$80k a year on average, while the starting salary of traditional marketers is pegged at SG$36k. While digital marketing is a broad term, candidates who are skilled in data analytics are found to be in higher demand. The salary range of marketers skilled in analytics was found to be SG$80k to SG$130k, higher than digital marketers in the customer experience function (SG$60k to SG$100k).

Hays’ report said that companies in Singapore are now on the hunt for talent who can make effective marketing decisions based on data analytics. It added that one data marketing trend is the leveraging of advanced technology and automation tools to identify trends, track marketing performance, cleanse data and increase business intelligence. Digital marketers will need to integrate and automate their CRMs and gain easy access to dashboards and reports, which can help them to better analyse campaign performances. Through data marketing, digital marketers will better understand their customers, discover what they respond to, and the platform by which companies may better engage with customers.
