Many digital marketing workers gain experience through an internship in a digital marketing agency while in school.
Digital marketing workers are lifelong learners. To be successful in this field, they must keep up on new technology, social and digital media, software, and hardware, as well as new marketing techniques. Strong communication skills, including good listening skills, are essential. Depending on the job, strong analytical and research skills are also important. Digital marketing workers deal with many different people in various lines of work, so it's helpful to have a flexible attitude and good interpersonal skills. Self-motivated people who have the ability to work alone as well as with groups do best in this profession. It's also important to have the patience and perseverance to see projects through.
