Is it right for me? The skills it takes...
You will naturally be a great communicator as you'll need to liaise with various teams, highlighting where you see issues and key opportunities to improve performance. You’ll be using a vast range of tools to gather data, from Google Analytics (GA) and SQL queries or perhaps developing models or machine learning algorithms and everything in between.
The fundamental skills required to be a Marketing Analyst can be split into the marketing skills and data analysis skills.
Marketing skills: Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, A/B testing, MVT testing, attribution modelling, customer segmentation, conversion rate optimisation, personalisation, CRM, NPS, customer behaviour analysis, trading.
Data skills: SQL, Python, R, SAS, SPSS, FastStats, Tableau, Power BI, social listening - Crimson Hexagon, Brandwatch, Sprinklr.
What qualifications does it take?
An analytical degree (e.g. statistics, Maths, Chemistry, Physics, Economics) is looked at favorably in the industry. Those who have used programmes such as R, SPSS or MATLAB during the undergraduate or postgraduate programmes are sought after. However, it is possible to enter the field of Insight and Analytics with a Marketing degree if you have been exposed to data and analytics in a commercial setting. A popular route into becoming a Digital Analyst is a digital marketing background (e.g. Digital Marketing Executive) where you have the underpinning understanding of paid media performance, social media, conversion rate optimisation and Google Analytics. This is then built upon with the data analysis skills.
