LinkedIn Lists Top 10 In-Demand Marketing Skills

A new report from LinkedIn lists the top 10 in-demand marketing skills in 2021.

LinkedIn has published a report of the top 10 in-demand marketing skills in 2021, based on what employers are looking for in job postings.

Half of the top 10 jobs posted on the platform are in the digital or media space, the report reveals.

As a result, the most in-demand skills show an increasing reliance on technology, a growing trend of leveraging social media, and a continuing relevance of SEO.

SEO is highlighted a few times throughout the report, as there’s a particular demand for off-page SEO.

That’s one skill that can help marketers stand out, the report shows, as off-page SEO represents one of the top skill gaps in digital marketing.
