Few would argue that social media is a quickly evolving space. But this fast pace means the knowledge base necessary to succeed as a social media marketer is also undergoing rapid change. In fact, LinkedIn predicts that the top skills required for a career in social media marketing, whether its Facebook know-how or photo editing expertise, will undergo a 50% changeover in the next five years. Meaning, half of what you’re an expert in today could soon be irrelevant.
This insight is based on research reports and data discovery tools released by LinkedIn within its Workforce data center, which aggregates user data to help paint a clear picture of how the global workforce has transformed over the past few years.
