You’re looking to get ahead in marketing. What are the most important skills to have?
The ability to do independent research and analyze data to synthesize insight. Too often, stats are positioned as insights when in fact data doesn't tell you much about your audience at all. Being able to understand the story the holistic research is telling you about your audience is much more important than the data itself. Learn to interpret and create data driven ideas and your content will perform well!

What are the key skills and responsibilities of a social media manager?
A critical skill for any social media marketer is the ability to develop an insight. Often times, we confuse a finding, statistic, or metric with an insight. One of the best and simplest ways to dig deeper into what a piece of data means is to simply ask yourself two simple questions the first is “why?” Why is this audience reacting to this content, trend, or behavior I suggest continuing to challenge your “why?” Throughout your strategy process. The second question I suggest you ask is “so what?” or “why would anyone care about this?” The goal is to make that stat or finding actionable so that you can use it to improve your content. I see so many struggle with this, but it can be as easy as a couple of questions!
